Lighten Up! Botany Lesson Introduction This lesson introduces the concept that plants need certain conditions to grow. Light is one of the conditions that most plants need in order to grow. By absorbing light and air into their leaves, plants make food. This process, called photosynthesis, allows plants to use energy from the sun (light) to convert carbon dioxide (gas) and water into the carbohydrates (simple sugars) which plants use to grow. During this lesson, the students wil ...

Photosynthesis Lab Background Information: Green plants use sunlight to make glucose. To do so, the plant must use carbon dioxide and water in a process called photosynthesis. The glucose made by plants is used by plants and animals as a source of energy. To release the energy contained in the bonds of glucose, the glucose must be converted to ATP. The process by which ATP is made from glucose is called cellular respiration. Respiration also produces waste products including carbon dioxide an ...
