Identify photosynthesis chemistry
Middle school students identify the chemical reactants and products of photosynthesis, connecting the molecular equation to the biological process occurring in plant cells. Teachers can use this worksheet after introducing photosynthesis to check student understanding of the chemistry behind energy conversion, not just the narrative steps. Grounding photosynthesis in chemistry prepares students for cellular respiration comparisons and for the biochemistry content they will encounter in high school biology.
Learning objectives
- Identify the reactants and products in the photosynthesis chemical equation
- Explain where plants obtain carbon dioxide, water, and light energy
- Connect the photosynthesis equation to the role of chloroplasts in plant cells
