Plant Science: Introduction to Photosynthesis

by Mary Premanandan.

Instructor should place their poster of “our plant” in front of the class and initiate discussion of the role of the leaf in producing food so the entire plant has enough energy. Go over the importance of sunlight, water, and soil for the proper growth and survival of the plant. Emphasize that as we have progressed we have become more specific in talking about plants from their cycle to the role of specific parts of the plant and the leaf. There are smaller parts of the leaf that are very important in process of producing food for the plant. Introduce the word photosynthesis as a process that plants must go through to have food and energy and to survive. [via]
