Chlorophyll

Two sequential parts to this instructional activity 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...

Learners create friendship bracelets and quilt squares. In this plant activity student dye their own string and cotton material with plant pigments. Students use the naturally dyed materials to create the friendship bracelets and quilt...

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,...

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.

Students 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.

Young scholars explain the importance of chlorophyll in plants. In this biology lesson plan, students extract chlorophyll from different plant sources using chromatography. They discover the different factors needed for photosynthesis to...

Students 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,...

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

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