Part 1: Observe and Identify

1. During the whiteboard-marker-on-water demonstration, complete the prompts.

I notice:

I wonder:

Word bank: light, water, carbon dioxide, glucose, oxygen, chloroplast, input, output, transported, stored

2. Identify each part of photosynthesis. Write input or output beside each word.

Light: __________________

Water: __________________

Carbon dioxide: __________

Glucose: _________________

Oxygen: __________________

Inputs enter the process.

Outputs are made by the process.

3. Which input comes from the air? Which input is transported from the roots?

Part 2: Build a Leaf Model

In the leaf model, draw arrows and label: sunlight, carbon dioxide, water, glucose, oxygen and chloroplasts. Show which materials enter and leave the leaf. Add a short note about how chloroplasts help.

Leaf outline: Draw a large, simple leaf here. Add a central vein and arrows.

Sunlight: ____________________ Carbon dioxide: ____________________

Water: _______________________ Glucose: ___________________________

Oxygen: ______________________ Chloroplasts: _______________________

Paired annotation: __________________________________________________________

____________________________________________________________________________

4. Add one paired annotation explaining why a label is an input or an output.

Part 3: Predict and Exit Response

5. If a plant is kept in darkness, then ________________________________, because ________________________________.

6. If a plant receives no water, then _________________________________, because ________________________________.

Exit response

7. What does photosynthesis make?

8. Name two requirements for photosynthesis.

9. Describe one leaf adaptation that helps photosynthesis happen.
