(1) The fundamental life process of plants and animals depend on a variety of chemical reactions that occur in specialized areas of the organisms cells. As a basis for understanding this concept:

f) Students know usable energy is captured from sunlight by chloroplasts and is stored through the synthesis of sugar from carbon dioxide.

 

 
  Instructional Objectives
Insert your learning objectives here. For example:

In this lesson students will be introduced to the fundamental principles governing photosynthesis. Students will become familiar with cell organelles used in photosynthesis, and basic chemical reactions that take place in these organelles.

  Student Activities
Insert brief summaries of your introductory, enabling, and culminating activities. Insert links to online resources in your text and insert links to activities on your student lesson web site.

Introductory Activity
Students will sketch three leaves as well as a plant cell.  All basic structures should be labeled.  

Pretest

Students will perform experiment with sprigs of Elodea in bromothymol blue (BTB).  

Students will fill out a KWL sheet.

Enabling Activities
 Brief lecture outlining photosynthesis and chemical reactions.  

 Students work in teams of two to access: www.cellsalive.com/cells/chlorpl.htm.  Using the pictures they will diagram a chloroplast and internal structures.  They will label structures and define stroma, thylakoid, and grana.
