Plants do not eat!
At least not in the way that Animals do
plants make their own Food!
in a process called Photosynthesis
We learned in the characteristics of living things that all organisms require nutrition!
So where does a plant get its food from?
Thats easy ........ ahhhh ....... it makes its own .... ahh
What does Photo Synthesis mean ??
Break it down into its 2 constituent words ......
Making with Light
Before we can do much here we need to get a few plants and carry out some tasks with them
OB50 investigate the growth response of plants to gravity (geotropism) and light (phototropism)
OB48 describe, using a word equation, how plants make their own food through photosynthesis
OB49 show that starch is produced by a photosynthesising plant

So how do we know this? Or more interestingly how can we prove it ?
A little far out but
