On Monday the students will finish up the Exchange with the Environment part III activity and use the iPads to "see" water and carbon dioxide coming into plants. We will use an online animation, a video, and an infographic to get a basic introduction to photosynthesis. On Tuesday we will go into more depth and use an animation and modeling with beads to learn the net equation for photosynthesis. Wednesday we will connect photosynthesis to another important process that occurs in plants and animals - cellular respiration. We will investigate this, and related, processes on Thursday though a "pick-a-lab" experiment. Friday we will finish our experiments and get started working on the review sheet!
