The topic of photosynthesis is a fundamental concept in biology, chemistry, and earth science. Educational studies have found that despite classroom presentations, most students retain their naive idea that a plant's mass is mostly...

This Interactive NOVA: "Earth" video segment looks at ancient organisms that lived anaerobically, the origins of photosynthesis, and the new forms of life this process made possible. [1:39]

Video lecture takes a look at how energy is released when ATP is converted to ADP and phosphate. [4:26]

Video lesson presents an in-depth overview of photosynthesis, what it accomplishes, why it's important, and how the light-dependent and light-independent reactions work together. [13:37]

Video lecture focuses on light-dependent reactions and how they work. It shows how light energy can excite electrons which can be used to create ATP and NADPH. [9:04]

This video tutorial gives a detailed description of the various molecular actors in the light-dependent reactions. [6:37]

The focus of this video lecture is the Calvin Cycle and a competing pathway called photorespiration. [11:04]

Get a detailed look at the light reaction that occurs during photosynthesis in this Khan Academy video. Learn the importance of products that are made during this process as well as the role the thylakoid membrane plays. [20:15]

Video explaining how chlorophyll makes plants appear to be green to human eyes. [5:35]

Explore the light-independent reactions of photosynthesis, otherwise known as the Calvin Cycle. [13:28]

Learn about the dynamic forest ecosystem with these four short videos. Videos discuss how the forest is constantly changing and how it maintains its function in the ever changing ecosystem. Site also includes a lesson plan for monitoring...

A four part vide segment, that explores photosynthesis all the way up the food chain to show how the "chemistry of dairy science directly relates to the chemistry of life". The video explores using the scientific method to test...

Video lecture focuses on light-dependent reactions that use photons from the sun and includes the structure of the chloroplast, the photosystems, and how ATP is synthesized. [20:15]

The light-dependent reactions that occur during photosynthesis. [20:16]

One of the most important biological processes: photosynthesis. [13:37]

This teacher playlist demonstrates the Matter Cycling & Photosynthesis unit investigations where the students investigate the idea that all food comes from plants.

This lesson will introduce the process of photosynthesis, and describe why it is important. It is 2 of 3 in the series titled "Overview of Photosynthesis."

Plants are amazing. Really! Photosynthesis is an incredible thing. But it also means that some plants can't live everywhere. They need to get the right amount of sunlight for the right amount of time. In this episode of Crash Course...

In this episode of Crash Course Kids, Sabrina talks about what plant life could look like on other planets. [4:39]

In this episode of Crash Course kids, the host talks about how plants get energy, and how that energy is transported around them. [4:15]

A detailed account of the Calvin Cycle. [17:03]

In this episode, Sabrina talks about how the process of photosynthesis works. [2:59]

Hank explains the extremely complex series of reactions whereby plants feed themselves on sunlight, carbon dioxide and water, and also create some by products we're pretty fond of as well. [13:15]
