  • Plants and Energy (Respiration and Photosynthesis)

    Book Chapter |

    The purpose of this activity is to help students understand how plants use photosynthesis to convert carbon dioxide into sugar and then use cellular respiration to convert the sugar into a useable form of energy. This…

  • Teaching Photosynthesis

    Journal Article |

    This activity is designed to get students engaged in learning the topic of photosynthesis. Students are given a sheet with various facts about photosynthesis on it. They cut the clues out, sort them into categories, and…

  • Injecting Inquiry Into Photosynthesis Investigations

    Journal Article |

    This is the story of how a typical middle school lab was transformed into an open-ended inquiry experience through a few small, but very powerful, changes. By allowing students to follow their own questions, the…

  • Building Leaves and an Understanding of Photosynthesis

    Journal Article |

    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…

  • Shining Light on Photosynthesis: Teaching about photosynthesis and plant growth in the primary classroom

    Journal Article |
