Photosynthesis
Essential Question: Can the rate of photosynthesis be controlled or manipulated?
By the end of this week, our investigation and discussions should help you address our Learning Targets for Photosynthesis.
Essential Question: Can the rate of photosynthesis be controlled or manipulated?
By the end of this week, our investigation and discussions should help you address our Learning Targets for Photosynthesis.
- LT 1: I can describe how organisms obtain energy directly and indirectly via photosynthesis from sunlight.
- LT: 2 I can recognize and write out the equation for photosynthesis and cell respiration and identify their reactants and products.
- LT 3: I can explain how organisms gain mass through the process of photosynthesis.
- LT 4: I can use a model to illustrate how photosynthesis transforms light energy into stored chemical energy.

The Simple Story of Photosynthesis and Food (Thanks, Payton!)
Thursday, November 7th
Agenda:
- Pre/Practice Assessment - What do you know regarding photosynthesis as it relates to our learning targets?
- On a piece of paper diagram and use words to show what you currently understand.
- Open and make a copy of this weeks investigation. Rate of Photosynthesis
- Lets begin
- Homework - be sure you have a completed plan up to the observations before beginning your investigation.
Friday, November 8th
Agenda:
- POPULATIONS TEST
- Continue were we left off yesterday.
- What questions do you have? What problems have you experienced? What insight can you offer our group to help all succeed?
- Continue until all 3 trials are complete.
- Data Analysis - what type of chart(s) can you produce to represent your data and what patterns do you see?
- Research in Progress
- Make Your Learning Visible: In your small groups, compare your results and diagram on a whiteboard what you believe is occurring in your leaf chads.
- Homework this evening: Write your Claim, Evidence, and Reasoning (use the resources found in the Secondary Knowledge Section below your observations) and be prepared to begin your independent investigation tomorrow.
Monday, November11th
Agenda:
- Continue were we left off yesterday.
- Application - choose your own variable and run an investigation following our methods as your starting point. What thoughts do you have variables that could change the rate of photosynthesis?
- Time to run your trials
Tuesday, November 12th
Agenda:
- Continue were we left off yesterday with the goal of completing your independent investigation.
- Present and defend what your findings are.
- Reimagine your diagrams. Take a look at your diagrams from Monday. What changes would you make or should you make? How could you make you model more complete and accurate?
- Quiz Friday over this weeks learning.
Wednesday, November 13th
Agenda:
- Last period to collect your data for your independent investigation.
- Research in Progress - share what you have learned so far.
- Time to work on Completing your Investigation. Finished reports due tomorrow. You may submit one document for your group. But be sure all names appear at the top of your investigation.

USES FTEXPLORING AND OLD VERSION OF ASSIGNMENT
Day 2 Agenda:
Day 3 Agenda:
Day 4 Agenda:
Day 2 Agenda:
- Parts 1 class discussions and small group "Numbered Heads" Activity
- Complete parts 2 and 3 using the links in the document and class instruction
- Homework - Parts 2 and 3 if not completed in class.
Day 3 Agenda:
- Complete part 4 using the links in the document.
- Write and or Diagram your Summary. This will be what is most heavily graded on this assignment. Please take the time to consider what you learned in parts 1, 2, 3, and 4 collectively as you write, diagram and explain while completing your summary. Due Tomorrow - before your quiz
- Photosynthesis Pre/Practice Quiz Challenge - Try this again on Schoology, see if you can get 100 % in 3 tries or less.
- Prepare for the real Photosynthesis Quiz Tomorrow - Thursday, 2/9/17
Day 4 Agenda:
- Summary completion. (10 min)
- Small Group Diagram. Go back and take a look at the first diagram you drew dealing with photosynthesis. Create a new group Diagram (with drawings, arrows, words) using the same prompt only this time include what you have learned this week from parts 1-4. Use the final summary prompt as a guide for what to include. Be prepared to share and explain your diagram with class.
- Turn in your summary (paper or on Schoology)
- Photosynthesis Quiz on Schoology - MOVED TO FIRST THING FRIDAY
How is the mass that living things are composed of created as a process of photosynthesis?
Watch the video to the right for your answer. |

FT Exploring is a great website for our understandings of the role of photosynthesis in providing energy and making matter available to ecosystems. Thin links below from FT exploring will help with the handout for these LT's.

- LT 1: I can describe how organisms obtain energy directly and indirectly via photosynthesis from sunlight.
- LT: 2 I can recognize and write out the equation for photosynthesis and cell respiration and identify their reactants and products.
- LT 3: I can explain how organisms gain and use mass through the process of photosynthesis.
Day 1 Agenda:
- Open an make a copy of this weeks assignment n photosynthesis and cellular respiration. You will have a paper copy to work on, but this copy will contain the links needed.
- Direct Instruction - Page 1 and 2
- Homework - Complete Part 1 - Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration Comparison at the bottom of pg. 2.
- Be prepared to share your section with small groups tomorrow.
