Chlorophyll

Two sequential parts to this lesson introduce your class to the electromagnetic spectrum, the ability to absorb radiant energy, and the pigments in leaves that are responsible for collecting sunlight to be used in the photosynthetic...

We know about the four yearly seasons we experience here in the United States, but did you know that the oceans can experience seasons as well? Learners gather data from ocean temperature maps and analyze the results.

Take young naturalists on an exploration of the world's tropical rainforests with this extensive collection of lessons and activities. Whether its creating leaf and flower prints or investigating the absorption spectrum of chlorophyl,...

Examine the role of chlorophyll in the process of photosynthesis. An interesting video lesson helps learners understand the efficiency of green chlorophyll as it creates energy for a plant. Although 99.9 percent of plants use green...

Young scholars look at the data maps given to them about how chlorophyll affects the algae blooms and make predictions about the harm they will cause. In this data maps lesson plan, students manipulate data sets from the website.

Learners explain the importance of chlorophyll in plants. In this biology instructional activity, students extract chlorophyll from different plant sources using chromatography. They discover the different factors needed for...

Students obtain remote sensing data to compare and contrast global biomass data with global temperature data.

Middle schoolers use TLC separations to identify various substances.  In this chlorophyll lesson students separate pigments found in different plants.

Students recognize the importance of plants as they perform an experiment involving photosynthesis. Students determine the optimum wavelength of light for photosynthesis by exposing plants to different colors of light, collecting data,...

Students investigate the components of chlorophyll. They use paper chromatography to separate the many pigments of chlorophyll from one another.
