Full lesson	Create for a teacher a set of content for giving a lesson, beginning with the lesson plan. Each new block of materials must begin with an H1 heading (other subheaders must be H2, H3, etc). When you describe required pictures, write those descriptions in curly brackets, for example: {A picture of a triangle}

Lesson Structure

Step Number	Step Title	Length (minutes)	Details
1	Introduction	5	Briefly introduce photosynthesis, its significance, and what students will learn today.
2	Key Concepts	10	Explain the process of photosynthesis, using diagrams and videos to illustrate key components: light, water, CO2, and chlorophyll.
3	Group Activity	10	Divide students into small groups. Each group creates a poster that summarizes the photosynthesis process using the provided materials.
4	Presentation & Discussion	3	Groups display their posters. Teacher facilitates a class discussion on the content and connections among the groups.
5	Conclusion	2	Summarize the key points discussed. Highlight the role of photosynthesis in ecosystems and human life.
6	Homework Assignment	0 (included in conclusion)	Assign students a short reading on the impact of photosynthesis on the environment with a few questions to answer. Explain that homework will be collected and checked without presentations.

Assessment

• Observations during group activities and class discussions.
• Review of homework assignments for understanding of key concepts.

Additional Notes

• Make accommodations for different learning needs and use visuals for students who may benefit from them.
• Encourage students to ask questions throughout the lesson to promote engagement and understanding.
