Photosynthetic Pictures--Are Worth More Than a Thousand Words

AP biologists or college-level botanists consider in-depth details of the photosynthetic process. They examine the structures in a leaf and the roles that they play. They label neat and colorful diagrams of photosystems and electron...

Students conduct experiments with plants.  In this photosynthesis lesson, students examine plants under different types of lights.  They calculate the amount of dissolved ocygen concentration and compare it to the formula for...

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

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.

Students examine the basics of starch and how it is used in food. For this photosynthesis lesson students experiment with variables that affect starch production in 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...

Students are given the unique opportunity to see the contrast between parts of a leaf that have photosynthesized and parts of the leaf that have not. This visual image helps students see the results of this biological process. At the...

Students explore photosynthesis using NASA satellite data. In this inquiry based biology lesson plan, students will look at data from a chosen national park to determine when the maximum amount of photosynthesis is occurring. This will...

What is light energy? Here we'll learn about the properties of light and how pigments such as chlorophylls absorb light energy.

Site describes process of photosynthesis, including role of pigment molecules, electron transport, ATP synthesis, and carbohydrate synthesis. Includes links to illustrative graphics.
