Photosynthesis

This month we have been studying a process which completely supports the entire earth – Photosynthesis – How plants use (light energy) sunlight and water to produce carbohydrates (food/energy) and oxygen. Energy is produced in the form of Glucose (sugar) and oxygen an important product produced by plants, an essential part of different organisms existence. Students are now very familiar with the chemical equation for photosynthesis and also have participated in different lab activities where they have had the opportunity to see photosynthesis in action. Using live evergreens we were able to trap the oxygen being released during the process. They will soon be learning the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration.   Mrs. Alvarado
