Photosynthesis to Cellular Respiration

Boo! I hope everyone survived Halloween! Welcome back to the land of the living and the connection between plants and animals.

Objectives:

• I can identify the reactants of cellular respiration.
• I can identify the products of cellular respiration.
• I can explain the relationship between cellular respiration and photosynthesis.

Language objectives:

• I can use captions to explain ideas in a diagram

October Process Words

• Evaluate (6, 7th grade)
• Represent (6, 7th grade)
• Refer (7th grade)
• Refute (7th grade)

Opening Animation of Photosynthesis

Please take out your photosynthesis diagram and answer the following questions in your science notebook:

• How is my diagram similar to the one shown in the animation?
• What vocabulary on the animation is new for me?
• What is shown on my diagram that is not on the animation?
• What is shown on the animation that is not on my diagram?

Moving through Photosynthesis - an activity where each student will be part of the process. What happens to the carbons, oxygens and hydrogens?

Return to your diagram - add

• Cellular Respiration
• add a caption that describes the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration

Focus on experimental design: You and a partner are in charge of an experiment. We will brainstorm ideas together and begin on Monday. Over the weekend, one (or both of you together!) person should go to a local market and obtain 3 similar plants.


For next class:

• Support Reading: Cells & Heredity p. 50-52
• Review Questions p. 67 (5, 6, 7, 13, 14, 16, 20, 22) p. 68 (25-26)
• mini-Assessment on Monday: Photosynthesis & Cellular Respiration
• Coordinate with your group member. 3 of the same plants / group
