This
is a group project you will use to exhibit your knowledge of plant cells and
the process of photosynthesis.
I will
assign you groups.
Each
group will need to make a visual (3D model, PowerPoint slide show, a colorful poster,
etc) to go along with a presentation.
In the
presentation the group should discuss the process of photosynthesis including
where it takes place, the different reactions (the reactants and products), and
describe how photosynthesis is a vital link between the sun and energy needs of
living systems.
