Click on the ultimate source of energy for life.
That's right! The sun is the ultimate source of energy for life on Earth, including YOUR life!
Click on an organism that uses the sun's energy to make food energy.
YES! Plants have a super power! They can use the sun's energy to make glucose (food energy). What is the scientific name for this process?
Cellular Respiration
Baking Cookies
Cooking Dinner
Photosynthesis
YES! Photosynthesis is the process in which plants use the sun's energy to make glucose (food energy).
In addition to sunlight energy, plants need atoms to make glucose.
Scroll over the atoms that make up the glucose molecule.
Glucose Molecule
Glucose is made from hydrogen (H), oxygen(O), and _____ atoms.
Fluorine(F)
Neon (Ne)
Carbon (C)
Lithium (Li)
That's correct! Glucose (food energy) is made from hydrogen (H), oxygen (O), and carbon (C) atoms.
Where do these atoms come from? Let's start by looking in the air!
Click on the molecule in the air that plants need for photosynthesis.
Ingredients plants need to make glucose (food energy)
Sunlight Energy
Carbon Dioxide
Click on the last ingredient a plant needs to make glucose (food energy).
Correct! Plants absorb carbon dioxide from the air.
The carbon and oxygen atoms from carbon dioxide are used during photosynthesis.
Ingredients needed for Photosynthesis:
Sunlight Energy
Carbon Dioxide
Click on the last ingredient a plant needs to make glucose (food energy).
Sunlight Energy
Carbon Dioxide
Water
That's right! A plant uses sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to make its own food.
Click on the part of the tree that makes glucose (food energy).
YES! Photosynthesis occurs in a plant's leaves.
Each leaf is made up of many cells. Within each cell are several organelles that each have an important job. The chloroplasts are like the kitchens of the cell where the food (glucose) is made.
Plant Cell
Click on the part of the plant cell diagram that shows where photosynthesis occurs.
Plant Cells Under a Microscope
Now click on a chloroplast that's shown in the image of plant cells under a microscope.
Yes! Inside the chloroplasts, plants use sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to make glucose (food energy).
Glucose isn't the only product of photosynthesis. Click on the other molecule plants make along with glucose.
Great work! Now check your understanding of photosynthesis by completing a couple of quick activities.
Photosynthesis
First correctly sort the cards. Then, click on the blue checkbox and follow the directions that appear.
(Glucose)
Click here to open sorting activity in another tab.
Click on each empty box to select the best word. Once each box has the correct word, click on the blue checkbox to receive the code word.
Click here when you know the code word.
You know that plants use light, carbon dioxide, and water to make glucose (food energy) and oxygen gas. Now it's time to practice writing photosynthesis as a chemical reaction.
Use the reaction above as a guide for putting the reaction below in order.
Sort the cards to show the photosynthesis reaction correctly. Then click the blue checkbox and follow the provided directions.

Put the cards in order one more time to make sure you got it. Practice makes perfect!
Sort the cards to show the photosynthesis reaction correctly. Then click the blue checkbox to get the code word.
Click here to open the activity in another tab.
Click here whe you know the code word.

One last note! Plants are not the only organisms that undergo photosynthesis.
Hover over the images to view the microorganisms under a microscope.
Filamentous algae in the Mediterranean sea
Phytoplankton making a sea green
Green algae in a lake
Algae, phytoplankton, and many other microorganisms also use sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to make ________.
glucose (food energy) and oxygen gas
kyber crystals and younglings
redstone ore and lapis lazuli
pizza and cookies
