Lesson Title: Today we are learning about
How is the Oxygen level maintained?
Remember to check for PROGRESS
Focus on Knowledge, Skills and Understanding
Success Criteria: You will show your learning by...
  1. The oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere are maintained by photosynthetic organisms, such as plants and algae.
  2. Photosynthetic organisms, such as plants and algae, use sunlight in photosynthesis to build organic molecules that are an essential energy store.
  3. Oxygen is need for respiration which releases energy from glucose. This is essential for all life. Therefore all life depends on the energy from the sun and the photosynthetic
  4. In the search for life on other planets, looking for oxygen is a sign that life is on the planet.

AFL/Key Questions:
  1. What process maintains the levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
    The levels in the atmosphere are maintained by photosynthesis.
  2. Why is photosynthesis important?
    the dependence of almost all life on Earth on the ability of photosynthetic organisms, such as plants and algae, to use sunlight in photosynthesis to build organic molecules that are an essential energy store and to maintain levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere - Energy transfer from sun to plant, chloroplast transform atoms rearranged (conserved in reaction). Oxygen we need for respiration = glucose.
  3. Why is oxygen important in the atmosphere?
    Oxygen is need for respiration which releases energy from glucose. This is essential for all life. Therefore all life depends on the energy from the sun and the photosynthetic
  4. Which gas is used as a sign of life on other planets?
    Oxygen is a sign that life is on an other planet.
