In this board game, several varieties of trees compete to grow and spread their seeds in the sunlight of this small, but fertile, forest. As each tree grows its leaves are touched by the sun's rays, collecting 'light points' and casting shadows on the surrounding smaller trees. When a tree reaches the end of its...

Photosynthesis *suitable for home teaching*
This Catalyst article looks at the process of photosynthesis, by which plants make a range of biochemical compounds. The article explains how photosynthesis actually ties in with growth. Respiration is happening all the time in all cells in all living organisms. Taken on its own, photosynthesis adds materials to...
Photosynthesis *suitable for home teaching*
This film, from Twig World, journeys into the chloroplast to show how plants convert sunlight into usable chemical energy through the process of photosynthesis. The key points covered in the film are: •Leaves are small solar-powered food factories. •Through a process called photosynthesis they make their own food...

Photosynthesis and Leaf Adaptation: How Sun and Shade Plants Respond to Light
In this practical investigation, students measure the rate of photosynthesis in plants from different habitats (sun and shade), and then consider what this demonstrates about leaf adaptation.
When leaf discs are...
Photosynthesis and plant growth
The Earth's population is increasing, but at the same time the amount of suitable farmland is decreasing due to factors including climate change and the growth of cities. Producing sufficient food to feed everyone is a global challenge. This activity sheet builds on students' knowledge of photosynthesis and plant...
