One friend explains to another that plants combine water and carbon dioxide with the energy of the sun to produce sugar and oxygen. She mentions the roles of the roots, chloroplasts, and stomata in an engaging video that reviews how...

Providing an overview of photosynthesis, this presentation would be a quick and easy way to go over information learned in class. This attractive and clear presentation would be a great way to kick off an exploration of photosynthesis.

We all know photosynthesis happens, but why should we care? Here is a unit that covers everything young scholars need to know about photosynthesis. Hands-on activities, assessments, and lectures guide pupils though the physiology of...

Photosynthesis requires energy and produces food, and cellular respiration produces energy and requires food. An interesting lesson analyzes the factors that affect the rates of photosynthesis and respiration. Classes spend one day...

Kim B. Foglia has designed a comprehensive series of AP biology worksheets. This one focuses learners on the progression of photosynthesis in plants. In this assignment, they identify structures and steps on high-quality diagrams, use...

Students identify photosynthesis as a process through which organisms make their own food. They practice the process for writing the formula for the photosynthesis equation. Students describe how the processes of photosynthesis and...

This relatively short PowerPoint contains all of the information necessary to give a clear summary of Photosynthesis. There are a few illustrations and clear descriptions of each stage of the main reactions.

In this photosynthesis and respiration worksheet, students will explore the function of the stomata on plant leaves Students will write the photosynthesis equation and label a diagram showing the movement of water, carbon dioxide, and...

Why do leaves change color in autumn? A presentation and worksheet walk through many details of photosynthesis. They explain where photosynthesis occurs, why plants are green, the changing colors in autumn, energy usage, and CAM plants.

Students participate in a lab experiment to observe and measure the opening and closing of stomata. They focus on photoperiod, locate and identify stomata on a leaf and explain the role of stomata in the daily functioning of a plant.

In this photosynthesis worksheet, learners learn how plants use the sun to convert energy into food. They then answer 10 questions using the information they just read. The answers are on the last page.

Students discuss reasons to plant trees and the best locations for cooling. They analyze two homes identifying types and locations of trees, and location of the central air conditioners. The benefits of shade, the process of...

Students explore what the stoma does for a plant.  In this botany lesson students complete a stomatal peel experiment and measure its densities.

In this photosynthesis worksheet, students are given a diagram of photosynthesis and words that correlate with the process. They use the words to fill in the blanks about the process and the structures involved in photosynthesis.

In this science worksheet, students read and analyze information about leaves. Students will consider the 5 questions: How is a leaf like a cook? How is a leaf like a fan? How is a leaf like a pair of lungs? How does a leaf affect the...

If you need summary notes for independent study, or a Powerpoint to review as a class, then these slides will fit your need. There are really great, quite detailed, diagrams and some slides to summarize the 2 stages of reactions in...

Learners perform an experiment to determine the stomaltal index on the upper and lower epidermis of two species of leaves. Stomatal densities change in response to changing atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide and to annual rainfall.

With a few minor formatting changes, the plant parts and processes resource here would make a great study guide, quiz, or self assessment. Currently, it is a bit confusing, but changing some lettering to numbering would clear up any...

Students investigate the similarities and differences of living things. Specifically, students will be able to identify the life processes of photosynthesis and describe the basic needs of plants.

In this plant structure worksheet, 5th graders will use a diagram of a leaf to complete 3 short answer questions on the purpose of a plant's cuticle, open and closed stomata, and leaves.

Students discuss reasons to plant trees and the best locations for cooling. They study two homes and identify types and locations of trees and determine the placement of the central air conditioners. The class plans a landscape design...

In this transpiration activity, students will conduct an experiment to measure the rate of transpiration from a plant by measuring how much weight the plant loses over 5 days. Students will record their data and create a graph of the...

In this plant nutrition worksheet, students read for information and assess comprehension. In this true and false, fill in the blank, multiple choice, and short answer worksheet, students answer ten questions.

In this biology instructional activity, learners identify and locate various vocabulary terms pertaining to cell processes and energy. There are 19 biology terms located in the word search.
