EDLD5364Lesson+Plan

Lesson Overview
Photosynthesis. || (9) Science concepts. The student knows the significance of various molecules involved in metabolic processes and energy conversions that occur in living organisms. The student is expected to: (B) compare the reactants and products of photosynthesis and cellular respiration in terms of energy and matter ||
 * **Title: ** || Does Photosynthesis Required Light? ||
 * **Author: ** || Rosana Barbosa ||
 * **Subject: ** || Photosynthesis ||
 * **Grade Level(s): ** || 9 Grade ||
 * **Duration: ** || 55 minutes ||
 * **Subject Area: ** || Science ||
 * Unit Description: || The capture, storage, transformation and flow of energy through the processes of photosynthesis. ||
 * Lesson Description for Day: || The purpose of this lesson is to assess the knowledge that the students have about photosynthesis. This knowledge will then be used to develop an experiment to learn more about
 * State Standards: || §112.34. Biology, Beginning with School Year 2010-2011

Goals

 * ====**Unit Goals: **==== || Students will be able to describe the light and light independent (dark) reaction of photosynthesis. Students, also, will be able to relate physical plant characteristics (Chloroplasts, pigments, stomata, etc) to their functions.

||
 * **Lesson Goals: ** || * Student will be able to design an experiment that will answer a question about photosynthesis.
 * Students will be able to use data and observations to make a conclusion.
 * Students will be able to hypothesize about the light reaction processes in photosynthesis. ||

Methods
Examples: Old Rock -[] RAP - []
 * ====**Wrap-up **==== || Students will watch short video clips of photosynthesis songs and they will create their on song using the music of their choices.

|| Answer the following questions about Photosynthesis: 1) What do you know about Photosynthesis? 2) What do you want to know? 3) Does Photosynthesis required light? These questions will be returned to you at the end of the unit. We will verify with your questions have been answered on the end of this unit.

This week assignment was very complex. I had to create a lesson plan for a group of Gifted and Talented students. I had to do a lot research to make sure I found the appropriated information for this high level of students. I consulted with my school science teacher and she was the one giving me the idea of light and dark reaction of photosynthesis. It was a very interesting subject for me to read and learn about it.
