  1. May 13, 2011 • Attendance • Record Plant Growth on Chart • Homework: Share your species • What is photosynthesis? • Internet Activity • Create a visual representation • Learning Targets: • Plants require sunlight in order to survive • Photosynthesis is the process that plants use to convert sunlight into food • Describe the changes that take place during photosynthesis

  4. Seed Growth Chart Stage 3 Height (cm) 2.5 2.0 1.5 1.0 0.5 Date 5/6 5/10 5/11 5/13

  5. Plant Journal Day 4 Record any changes in your cup. Do you have growth? If so, measure it in cm. If not, record any care that you have given today. Water? Dirt? What stage of germination do you think your seed is in right now? Look back at your notes and draw a picture of what stage you think your seed is.

  6. Warm Up What is photosynthesis? Brainpop

  7. Photosynthesis The process by which plants convert sunlight and carbon dioxide into food and oxygen Photosynthesis occurs in plants in the chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is the green pigment in plants.

  8. Remember all of those little numbers and letters? • H2O is the formula that represents the compound, water. • A formula is a combination of letters and numbers that is used to represent the elements in a compound. • The H and the O are the symbols that stand for the elements hydrogen and oxygen. • A symbol is a combination of 1, 2 or 3 letters that is used to represent an element from the periodic table. • The small 2 next to the H, means that there are 2 hydrogen atoms in the water compound.

  9. Another example…carbon dioxide! • Formula = CO2 • Symbols used = C (carbon), and O (oxygen) • In one compound of carbon dioxide, there is one atom of carbon, and two atoms of oxygen.

  10. More Compounds to Know • Oxygen = O2 • Carbon Monoxide = CO (a colorless, odorless gas) • Glucose = C6H12O6 (a form of sugar)

  11. Internet Activity http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/methuselah/photosynthesis.html

  12. Visual Representation Use your creativity to show how photosynthesis works. Do you like to draw? Mural Are you a linear thinker? Flow Map How about cartoons? Comic Strip Is writing your strength? Story Do you like to move? Skit Are you a math wiz? Formula Be prepared to share your creation!
