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...

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...

Learners explain the importance of chlorophyll in plants. For this biology lesson, students extract chlorophyll from different plant sources using chromatography. They discover the different factors needed for photosynthesis to take place.

Young scholars use TLC separations to identify various substances.  In this chlorophyll lesson plan students separate pigments found in different plants.

Students observe the interactions of chlorophyll and light. They develop and form their own testable hypotheses. Students predict the color of chlorophyll in various types of plants.

Learners 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.

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

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.
