1. Warm Up-
What is one part of photosynthesis? Explain your
answer

2. Objective
 Students will be able to illustrate and explain the
process of photosynthesis

3. Photosynthesis
 Using your textbooks, answer the following questions.
Pages 44-48
1. What is photosynthesis?
2. Who uses photosynthesis?
3. How does photosynthesis work?
4. Where does photosynthesis take place?
5. What happens during photosynthesis?

4. Photosynthesis Pg 44-48
 What is it?
 The process by which a cell captures energy in sunlight and uses it to
make food
 Who uses it?
 All living things obtain energy directly or indirectly from the energy
of sunlight in photosynthesis
 Autotrophs- organisms that make their own food (plants) use
photosynthesis directly
 How does it work?
 Plants and some other organisms use energy from the sun to convert
carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and sugars
 Where does it take place?
 Inside the chloroplasts
 What are the stages?
 Capturing the sun’s energy
 Using energy to make food

5. Drawing Photosynthesis
 Draw the processes of photosynthesis
 Label/ explain what is happening
 Include both stages
 Use color!!!

6. Photosynthesis Video
 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pD68uxRLkM

7. Exit Ticket
 What happens during photosynthesis?

8. Homework
 Photosynthesis Reading and Questions (at top of
page)

9. Warm Up-
How does photosynthesis affect nearly all living things
on earth?

10. Objective
 Students will be able to identify and arrange facts
about photosynthesis

11. Homework
 How does the sun supply living things with the energy
they need?
 What happens during the process of photosynthesis?

12. Photosynthesis Equation
 Carbon dioxide + water (light energy)→ glucose + oxygen
 6CO2 + 6H2O (light energy)→ C6H12O6 + 6O2

13. Photosynthesis Reading
 Read Pages 44-48
 Complete Guided Reading as you go
 May work as a group or independently

14. Wrap Up Questions
 What is the equation for the process of
photosynthesis?
 What are the reactants/ raw materials?
 What are the products?
 What is the role of light energy in this process?

15. Warm Up-
Photosynthesis Learning Check

16. Objective
 Students will be able to design their own terrarium.

17. Homework
1. Green; about 95%
2. Blue; about 90%
3. Green, yellow, orange
4. Violet, blue, red
5. Chlorophyll makes a leaf look green because it
reflects green light in the highest percentage

18. Photosynthesis Equation
 Carbon dioxide + water (light energy)→ glucose + oxygen
 6CO2 + 6H2O (light energy)→ C6H12O6 + 6O2
