Cellular Processes - Energy
Photosynthesis & Respiration Introduction
Today in science we introduced our new unit on Photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the process by which a cell captures energy in sunlight and uses it to make its own food (a type of sugar called glucose).
As a class we focused on a few key terms from the GUIDED NOTE SHEET to know when learning about photosynthesis such as autotrophs, heterotrophs, pigments, chlorophyll, and stomata.
The reading today will help reinforce our new understanding of how organisms get energy. The reading will also introduce the two stages of photosynthesis.
Here is the link for the reading from our Science Explorer text.
Here also is a Question Sheet that goes with the Text.
Here also is a Question Sheet that goes with the Text.
Here is a great three-minute video from Discovery's "Greatest Scientific Discovery" series that will introduce the experiments that enabled Priestly and Ingenhousz to "discover" photosynthesis.

Introduction to Cellular Energy
Today we are Introducing Cellular Energy:
MS-LS1-6.
|
Construct a scientific explanation based on evidence for the role of photosynthesis in the cycling of matter and flow of energy into and out of organisms.
|
MS-LS1-7.
|
Develop a model to describe how food is rearranged through chemical reactions forming new molecules that support growth and/or release energy as this matter moves through an organism.
