Lesson Title: Today we are learning about
What does the word equation for photosynthesis mean?
Remember to check for PROGRESS
Focus on Knowledge, Skills and Understanding
Success Criteria: You will show your learning by...
  1. The word summary for photosynthesis is: Carbon Dioxide plus Water becomes Glucose plus Oxygen using light energy.
  2. The reactants of photosynthesis are: Carbon Dioxide and Water
  3. Carbon Dioxide is absorbed from the air.
  4. Water is absorbed from the ground through the roots.
  5. Carbon dioxide is absorbed through the leaves.
  6. The products of photosynthesis are: Glucose and Oxygen
  7. Glucose is used or stored in the plant.
  8. Oxygen is released through the leaves into the air.
  9. Glucose is converted into starch for storage.
  10. The word summary for respiration is: Glucose plus Oxygen becomes Carbon Dioxide plus Water releasing energy.
