CLASS: Horticulture Science DATE BEST TAUGHT: any TEKS: 130.20c3a STEM INTEGRATION: Biology 112.34c10b OBJECTIVES (TSWBAT---The student will be able to) Define, label, and explain the stages of the photosynthesis cycle on note-taking worksheet and quiz with no errors. Demonstrate an understanding of the equation for photosynthesis in writing (drawing) with 90% accuracy. Recognize the key differences between the light reaction and dark reaction on notetaking guide and quiz with 100% accuracy. TEACHING MATERIALS AND RESOURCES (What do you need to bring?) 5 sets of 5 Go get it activity cards (Brownie Sundae cards) Prezi Presentation titled The Giver of Life Guided note-taking worksheet titled Photosynthesis Lesson Worksheet with photosynthesis equation & drawing squares for Hieroglyphic moment Brownies to encourage students to participate in the lecture. TEACHING PROCEDURES---Preparation, Presentation, Application, Evaluation Preparation (Interest Approach/Motivator) Key Points Link -Show a picture of my favorite food that my mother makes. (Part of Prezi Presentation) Motivation -Q: How many of you have a favorite meal that someone makes? Do you know what ingredients they used to make the meal? Do you know who cooks food for plants? -Relate this to photosynthesis in plants. -Nobody makes food for plants; they make their own food by only using a few simple ingredients. Even though plants are making food constantly you cannot see it. Overview -Today we will Define, label, and explain the stages of the photosynthesis cycle. Demonstrate an understanding of the equation for photosynthesis. Recognize differences between the light reaction and dark reaction.

The It is only as complicated as you make it cards will then be opened to reveal the photosynthesis equation in order. -Ask students to distinguish ingredients and products and discuss why they are important in the photosynthesis equation and for humans. The Giver of Life B. What is Photosynthesis Photo" is the Greek word for "Light," and "synthesis," is the Greek word for "putting together," which explains what photosynthesis is. It is using light to put things together.6CO2 + 6H2O + Energy --> C6H12O6 + 6O2 PHOTOSYNTHESIS is the process in which carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H20) are used to produce carbohydrates and oxygen (O2) in the presence of light C. Terminology Chloroplast: the green plastid in which photosynthesis occurs Chlorophyll: the green plant pigment in chloroplasts that absorb light needed for photosynthesis Thylakoids: flattened, sack like membranes inside a chloroplast; contain the chlorophyll Granum: stacks of thylakoids Stroma: the fluid of the chloroplast D. The Leaf The inner tissue of the leaf is called the Mesophyll which is where the chloroplast is located. Inside the chloroplast is where photosynthesis occurs on the outer layer of the leaf are Stomata, that allow the expulsion of oxygen and the absorption of carbon dioxide. E. Review the components of the leaf and why they are important to the process of photosynthesis. Note-taking worksheet as you continue through the Prezi Presentation

*Ask Brownie question* -Do you know where photosynthesis occurs?

*Ask Brownie Question* -what makes plants green?

F. Reactions Photosynthesis is made up of two separate reactions -The Light Reaction (Hill Reaction) -The Dark Reaction (Calvin Cycle) -Although separate the reactions need each other in order for photosynthesis to occurs Light Reaction Inside the thylakoid membranes of the granum, water is split to produce oxygen, electrons (e-) and hydrogen ions (H+). Each electron is then absorbed by chlorophyll, which also absorbs light to bring the electron to a high energy state. As the electron is transported, an energy gradient is generated (which actually uses the H+) which makes ATP. When the electron gets to the end of the chain, it is pretty well drained of the added energy, and NADP acts to utilize the last bit of energy in the electron to produce NADPH. Light is used to produce chemical energy (ATP and NADPH). The plant has made chemical energy from light energy! ATP and NADPH are short lived and cannot be stored or easily transported to where needed. The plant must figure out a way to save this precious chemical energy and that is where the Dark Reaction comes into the picture. Dark Reaction - A very important enzyme (rubisco) combines a 5-C sugar with a CO2 molecule to produce a 6-C compound that immediately breaks into 2 3-C sugar acids. This 3-C sugar acid is not very useable by the plant so through a series of reactions it is converted into sugars called triose phosphates. This requires metabolic energy, which is derived from the ATP and NADPH produced by the Light Reaction. The triose phosphate is used to produce glucose and other sugars or is stored as glucose in starch. Finally, the plant has produced a stable, transportable, and storable form of chemical energy (e.g. sugars). For the cycle to continue, some of the triose phosphate must be used to replenish the original 5-C sugar, and this takes metabolic energy which is supplied by ATP from the Light Reaction. The Dark Reaction continues as long as the Light Reaction supplies it with energy in the form of ATP and NADPH, thus the Dark Reaction only occurs in the light! -

Presentation will be used to review lecture. Summary -Define: Photosynthesis: the process in which carbon dioxide and water are used to produce carbohydrates and oxygen. Chloroplast: the green plastid in which photosynthesis occurs. Chlorophyll: the green plant pigment in chloroplasts that absorb light. -Summarize: Light Reaction: the reaction that used the water and light energy and evolves oxygen.
