Tom, we're too deep in the forest. Let's go back home.
Look! A talking orange tree! Oooh!
Hi, I am a plant and I am going to talk to you two about photosynthesis.
Mum, told me to take care of you, so we're going home.
But Lizzy, can we just listen to the orange tree for a bit.
Lizzy stayed with Tom to see what the orange tree was going to say...
Let me tell you two children all about photosynthesis.
Photosynthesis is the process of which the sun's energy is converted into chemical energy.
With the right amount of sunlight and water the plant is able to conduct the process.
PHOTOSYNTHESIS

Sunlight

CO2
Glucose

Let's Zoom in!
Chlorophyll makes the plant green through the act of photosynthesis.
These are chloroplasts
We, expel CO2 which a plant uses for photosynthesis. Then it will release oxygen for us to breathe.
Now, can you guess why photosynthesis is important? Shhhhh. It's got something to do with oxygen. If you answer correctly, feel free to have an orange.
