So, in Living Sunlight, our
book about photosynthesis, we begin by talking directly to children and asking them to put their hands over their hearts, to feel the pumping and to feel how warm they are.
Local high school students designed science lessons — connected to the district's science curriculum — to teach elementary
kids about photosynthesis and plant anatomy as they garden.
Living Sunlight talks to young
children about photosynthesis (a vital process that most adults would be hard put to explain) in a way that tells what is actually happening at the molecular level.
As to your suggestion that my
comments about photosynthesis contradict the possibility that CO2 affects radiation, the short answer is: You are wrong.
Whereas the Grade 5 student can take photos of vegetation and create a
book about photosynthesis and label the parts of plant.
For example, in a project on plants, the goal for the slower student might be to learn about the requirements for plant growth while for the other students the goal might be to
learn about photosynthesis.
Hands - on science — learning
about photosynthesis.
There, I'll use the Apple Pencil to draw roots, stem and flowers on a plant to learn
about photosynthesis, among other lessons.
