Understand the process of photosynthesis that allows plants to grow.

In this lesson on exploring photosynthesis, students will explore photosynthesis by examining the reactants and products of this process.

Learners become editors at NoWay, a web site that publishes amazing-but-true stories. Two stories being considered for publication include claims about photosynthesis. Students must evaluate the validity of the claims by looking for...

Explore the light reaction process of photosynthesis.

This article allows students to understand the process of photosynthesis and how chloroplasts, thylakoids, and pigments are involved.

Using spinach leaf disks, students measure the rate at which the photosynthesis process occurs. Students speculate on further investigations that could be done and discuss how the rate at which photosynthesis occurs has vast implications...

Work samples, phenomena, assessment templates, and videos that directly address standard MS-LS1-6: photosynthesis - matter cycling and energy flow.

In this life science classroom activity, students will use cooperative learning and whole class discussions to be introduced to the concept of energy flow through organisms, and understand the basic processes of photosynthesis and...

Fabulous resource for kids studying science. An excellent reinforcement for lessons covered in class or an insightful tool for students wishing to expand their knowledge of science. Allows students to visit science centers all over the...

This Museum of Science page does an excellent job of explaining the importance of plants as producers in the sea. The food chain or food web has to start with the plants.

Leaves use sunlight to make food for the plant. Sunlight contains all of the colors of the rainbow, but are all of those colors used by the leaf? Can you find out if some colors of light are more important than others?

Everyone loves the beautiful colors of fall, but where they come from and how they change color is a mystery. In this project, you will uncover the hidden colors of fall by separating plant pigments with paper chromatography.

Through this interactive module, students learn that the atmosphere is so much more than air, its complex role on Earth should be explored, and its quality carefully monitored and protected.

All about plants has information on plant parts--seeds, flowers, fruits, roots, and spores--and plant processes--seed dispersal, germination, pollination, and photosynthesis. You can also take a tour of this Los Angeles-based...
