What's Cooking? Photosynthesis

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Who would expect to learn about photosynthesis during a cooking demonstration? That is exactly what happens when you view this film, one of the best photosynthesis videos you will find! Because the lesson is deliciously delivered through Chef Jamika's chili-rubbed salmon recipe, middle schoolers barely realize what they have learned. They will discover the molecules involved, the plant structures that play a role, and how humans benefit from the vital process of photosynthesis.
