Building Leaves and an Understanding of Photosynthesis

Science Scope—April/May 2007

Where does cellular respiration take place? How does a plant make food and in turn use the food to produce its own energy? Do animals carry on this process also? To help students answer these and other questions, have them build a model leaf, plant cell, and animal cell. This hands-on project allows students to see and manipulate the reactants and products of photosynthesis and cellular respiration.
