Photosynthesis
Storyboard Text
- It would be awesome to learn about photosynthesis! Let's go and see it in action!
- I found out on the way here that plants make oxygen. But what do you think plants make the oxygen out of?
- Well, we might want to think about the basics we have learned that they need water and sunlight and also in my science class Ms. Gregory said that they need carbon dioxide, so I guess that is another thing.
- So, what we figured out is that plants take in carbon dioxide water and sunlight and then put out oxygen which we then breath in as well as animals.
- I heard my friends talking about glucose and how it is food for plants, but I've never seen a plant eat a cheeseburger so how do they get food?
- They get their food from carbon dioxide and water and sunlight and then as we said they make oxygen, but they also store glucose sugar, which is food for plants.
- And since plants use raw materials or waste materials they are Autotrophs which measn they make their own food from raw materials and since carbon dioxide is a waste material then i guess plants use waste materials too.
- So, the way that they get the water is through the plants roots which are in the soil, and they absorb sunlight through the chlorophyll, and they get carbon dioxide through the stomata and when they take the carbon dioxide from the air it cleans it.
- Speaking of Autotrophs theres also Heterotrophs which are things like us who cant just make our one food out of products like carbon dioxide.
- This whole day we've been talking about photosynthesis, and we didn't even talk about the chloroplast which is where all of the chemical reactions of photosynthesis happen. There is also.
