Plant reactions
Recall what photosynthesis is and where it occurs. Recall what aerobic respiration is and where it occurs. Interpret the word equations for photosynthesis and aerobic respiration. Explain the effects of limiting factors.
 * Outcomes (what you will be able to do by the end of this lesson) **


 * Starter **
 * Complete and mark the quick quiz
 * Traffic light the first column on your target sheet (red = I can't do this, yellow = I can do this a little, but I'm not sure, green = I can confidently answer questions on this)

 * Activities **
 * 1) Review your knowledge of cells. Can you [[file:ES9_Ca033_12msu.doc|label this plant cell]]?
 * 1) Review MRS GREN. Discuss the following questions (groups first then as a class):
 * 1) What is photosynthesis? Discuss. You have a selection of resources to use to do some research and learning before and after the discussion:
 * 1) Look at the demonstration of a photosynthesis experiment. Discuss
 * 1) Now use the guidance sheet to design your own lab. You will be using this simulation (alternative) to collect data. You may find the skoool tutorial on measuring the rate of photosynthesis helpful.
 * 1) Now complete the summary sheet on photosynthesis.
 * 1) Complete Q1-8 from p32-3 of Exploring Science 9. You may find the video on crops and flooding below helpful
 * 1) Learn how to balance symbol equations and build an equation for photosynthesis (you will use this to help you in your homework task).
 * 1) Discuss the differences and the balance between the processes of respiration and photosnthesis. You may find this skoool tutorial on the differences between respiration and photosynthesis helpful.
 * 1) Extension: Photosynthesis discovered? Read and answer the questions on discovering photosynthesis


 * Summary **
 * Create a poster to illustrate the balanced symbol and word equations for photosynthesis and respiration
 * Review completed classwork / key term quiz


 * Homework activity options **
 * Download complete the gapfill on plant reactions, print-off and stick into your exercise book. You can copy and complete if you have a problem printing.
 * Take the Brainpop quiz on photosynthesis (you might want to review the movie first).
