Lesson Objectives...
Engage in argument from evidence by comparing and critiquing claims that plants take in (input) water through their roots and give off (output) water through their leaves.
Analyze and interpret data and graphs to identify patterns to show that plants are taking in (inputs) carbon dioxide and releasing water and oxygen (outputs).
Carbon dioxide enters plants through the leaves.
Since carbon dioxide is the only input containing carbon, it is the source of carbon in food molecules.
Plants also release (output) water and oxygen from their leaves.
