Academic Subject: Science

Grade Level: Year/Grade 2 (6-7 years old)

Length: 45 minutes

Objective:

• Students will be able to understand and explain the process of photosynthesis.
• Students will be able to identify the necessary components for photosynthesis.
• Students will be able to describe the importance of photosynthesis.

Materials:

• Large poster of a plant
• Pictures of the sun, water, and carbon dioxide
• Card stock or paper
• Markers or crayons

Introduction (5 minutes):

• Show the large poster of a plant and ask students what they know about plants.
• Ask students if they know how plants are able to grow.

Body (30 minutes):

What is Photosynthesis? (10 minutes)

• Explain that photosynthesis is the process by which plants create their own food.
• Discuss how plants take in sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to create glucose and oxygen.
• Show pictures of the sun, water, and carbon dioxide and ask students to identify each item.

Necessary Components (10 minutes)

• Discuss the necessary components for photosynthesis: sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide.
• Have students work in pairs or groups to create a list of items necessary for photosynthesis.

Importance of Photosynthesis (10 minutes)

• Discuss the importance of photosynthesis in both plant and animal life.
• Explain that animals rely on plants for food and oxygen, making photosynthesis a key component in the food chain.

Conclusion (5 minutes):

• Review the three main points of the lesson: what photosynthesis is, the necessary components, and the importance.
• Assign homework: Have students draw a picture of a plant and label the necessary components for photosynthesis.
