Lesson 8

Where are plants getting food from?

Lesson Objectives...

Develop and use models based on multiple sources of evidence to show that plants use energy from light to make sugars (food) from carbon dioxide and water through the process of photosynthesis and release oxygen as an output and that energy is transferred from the sunlight to the plant through this process.
Argue from evidence that carbon dioxide is an input for plants and oxygen is an output.

Slide Presentation for Lesson 8...

This is the slide presentation used by your teachers when navigating through Lesson 8.

Review the Gotta-Have-It Checklist to reflect on what we have figured out so far.

Plants use energy from the sun to make sugars (food) from carbon dioxide and water. Plants release oxygen as an additional output in this process. This process is called photosynthesis.
During the process of photosynthesis, energy is transferred from the sunlight to the plant.
All plants make their own food molecules through the process of photosynthesis.
Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells.
