Photosynthesis
Grade 5-8 (Ages 10-14)
Science
20 students
This lesson aligns with the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) focusing on the structure and function in living systems.
| Step Number | Step Title | Length (mins) | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Introduction | 5 | Briefly introduce the topic of photosynthesis. Ask students what they know about it. |
| 2 | Video Presentation | 5 | Show a short video explaining the process of photosynthesis, emphasizing its importance. |
| 3 | Discussion | 5 | Facilitate a class discussion to recap the video. Focus on key components and processes. |
| 4 | Hands-On Activity | 10 | Divide students into small groups. Each group will observe how plants react to light and water. Use potted plants and a light source. |
| 5 | Group Reflection | 3 | Ask each group to share their observations briefly. Guide them to connect it with the photosynthesis process. |
| 6 | Homework Assignment | 2 | Distribute worksheets for students to complete at home. Outline expectations for submission. |
| 7 | Wrap-Up | 5 | Summarize key points from the lesson. Ensure students understand the importance of photosynthesis. Ask if there are any questions. |
Students will complete a worksheet that reinforces the concepts covered in class. They will be asked to illustrate the photosynthesis process in a way that demonstrates their understanding without the need for oral presentations.
