Lesson Summary:
The lesson provides the children with a simplified explanation of photosynthesis. The reading is designed to be used by the children, either individually or as a paired reading activity. Activity A requires them to draw a diagram showing the elements used in the process of photosynthesis. Activity B uses a teach-back method to reinforce the facts learned in the lesson.
Objectives:
- The children will have a basic understanding of the process of photosynthesis.
Subject Area:
Science
Lesson Excerpt:
What do you think is happening in the picture? Well, it’s a picture of a plant busy making its food. Plants can’t just get up and go to the supermarket when they are hungry so they have to make their food themselves with the ingredients they have all around them. We call green plants autotrophs, which means producers, because they produce their own food.
The process which green plants use to make their food is called photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is made up of two words: photo, which means light, and synthesis, which means putting things together to make something else.
