Photosynthesis Webquest
Introduction:
Ever wondered why plants are green? What plants need to grow? In the next few minutes you can easily find the answers.
Task:
To get some information about the process of photosynthesis you have to read the following short text. In order to understand the process, you can see an illustrative video. After that you know the photosynthesis quite well, you can learn a cute song about it. Have fun!
Process:
1. Read the following text about photosynthesis!
Photosynthesis
Photosynthesis is a process in which green plants use energy from the sun to transform water, carbon dioxide, and minerals into oxygen and organic compounds. It is one example of how people and plants are dependent on each other in sustaining life.
Photosynthesis happens when water is absorbed by the roots of green plants and is carried to the leaves by the xylem, and carbon dioxide is obtained from air that enters the leaves through the stomata and diffuses to the cells containing chlorophyll. The green pigment chlorophyll is uniquely capable of converting the active energy of light into a latent form that can be stored (in food) and used when needed.
Photosynthesis provides us with most of the oxygen we need in order to breathe. We, in turn, exhale the carbon dioxide needed by plants. Plants are also crucial to human life because we rely on them as a source of food for ourselves and for the animals that we eat.
2. In order to understand the process watch this video!
3. Fill the following picture with the missing words!
4. Summerise your knowledge! Write 5-10 sentences about the concept of the photosynthesis!
5. Finally listen and learn the following song! Make a group of 4 students, then you have to perform the song !
Evaluation
Satisfactory | Good | Perfect | ||
Task 3 | There are at most 2 incorrect or missing words | There are at most 1 incorrect or missing words | Each words are correct | |
Task 4 | Missing knowledge | Few missing knowledge | There is no missing knowledge, logical structure | |
Task 5 | Not everyone knows the song | Almost everyone knows the song | Everybody knows the song. Enjoyable performance | |
Now you probably learned about the process of photosynthesis. I hope you spent your time pleasantly
