3A Photosynthesis
I can construct and revise an explanation based on evidence that the process of photosynthesis is in part responsible for the cycling of matter and flow of energy through ecosystems and that environmental conditions restrict the rate of those reactions.

Greetings to Payton and Her girl Scout Troop!
Thank you so much for visiting our page. I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
I always love to hear about young ladies exploring and learning about science. What I would love for you and your girl scout troop to know is "Never Stop Learning!" You can be anything you want to be if you set your mind to it. Read. Explore. Research. Read some more. There are so many fascinating things out there just waiting to be discovered by eager young minds! Women of all ages have made amazing discoveries throughout history. Will you make the next discovery? I certainly hope so! Thank you for visiting. Maybe YOU will be the next great woman scientist!

activity 2: whole class photosynthesis graphing activity
We will be completing this activity together in class.
activity 4: Photosynthesis GamesYou will work in PAIRS for this activity. Go to each of the links below. They will take you to some really simple photosynthesis interactives. Be sure to add drawings of your interactives to your notes packet.

activity 5: virtual lab - color of lightYou will work in PAIRS for this activity. It MUST be a different partner from the 4B activity. Pick up a virtual lab handout, then go to the link below. Remember that the procedure for this virtual lab will be on the left hand side of the screen. Follow the procedure and complete the lab. Record data in your lab handout as necessary.

activity 6: image practice
Use the images below to answer the following questions. Have your instructor check your answers.
Use the image above for these questions:
1. Why is there a 6 in front of the carbon dioxide molecules? 2. Why do you need 6 of them? 3. What is the energy source for this reaction? 4. Is it an energy storing reaction or an energy releasing reaction? |
Use the image above for these questions:
1. Why does the graph for light intensity go up then level off? 2. Why does the graph for temperature go up then go back down? 3. What does this tell you about environmental factors and how they effect photosynthesis? |
Optional advanced activity: Lab: Floating diskYou will work in PAIRS for this activity. It MUST be a different partner from the 4A activity. Pick up a lab handout and READ and HIGHLIGHT the procedure. Once you have read the procedure, check with your instructor before going into the lab. Once approved, you may go into the lab and begin. When finished, check with your instructor again.
