Module 3

HS-LS-1-5 Use a model to illustrate how photosynthesis transforms light energy into stored chemical energy.

HS-LS-1-6 Construct and revise an explanation based on evidence for how carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen from sugar molecules may combine with other elements to form amino acids and/or other large carbon-based molecules.

HS-LS-2-5 Develop a model to illustrate the role of photosynthesis and cellular respiration in the cycling of carbon among the biosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere, and geosphere.

Essential Questions:

How do organisms obtain and use energy the need to live and grow?

Success Criteria:

□ I can develop and use a model to illustrate how photosynthesis transforms light energy into chemical stored energy for use of living things (diagram, chemical equation)

□ I can explain cellular respiration is a process where food molecules (stored chemical energy) and oxygen are broken into new compounds that transport energy

□ I can explain photosynthesis and cellular respiration, including anaerobic processes, provide most of the energy for life processes
