Anyone interested in plants and how they grow will enjoy this one-time science class! We will cover the basics of photosynthesis and how plants use it to make food for themselves and animals, including humans! We will learn some important vocabulary words. We will explore...... *Ingredients! Plants need water, sunlight, and carbon dioxide. *Processes! Plant stomas soak up carbon dioxide, chlorophyll in cells soaks up sunlight, and roots drink up water. *Products! Stomas release oxygen into the air and glucose and starch are created to fuel plant growth and make vegetables grow. *Pigments! Pigments are chemicals in nature and they make flamingoes pink and plants green, among many more! The information is broken down in a way that makes it interesting and easy to understand. I include lots of photos, videos, definitions, and explanations that help make clear this wonderous process happening inside plants at a microscopic level. Students will find out why photosynthesis is so important to all life on Earth, not just plants! Students should feel free to contribute to the conversation by sharing what they know and asking questions. We will have a short, fun trivia game at the end of class. A printable mini-book on photosynthesis will be available for printing after the class. **If you don't see a time that works for your family please feel free to message me a request for a better option.

Even though I love teaching ELA virtually at a public school and here on Outschool, I also love science and nature! I've done a lot of research on this topic and feel qualified to share what I've learned with interested students.
