The following links are photosynthesis topics that I have used in my classes:
- PBS: Illuminating Photosynthesis – http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/methuselah/photosynthesis.html
- interactive tutorial
- Why Leaves Change Color – http://www.esf.edu/pubprog/brochure/leaves/leaves.htm
- article with explanation for students
- Arizona State University: What is Photosynthesis? – http://photoscience.la.asu.edu/photosyn/education/learn.html
- this site has many pages and links to further information about photosynthesis. It is an excellent teacher resource for information and can be useful for students as well with teacher supervision. Reading level can be difficult for some high school students.
- EPA Kids Site: A Student’s Guide to Global Climate Change – http://www.epa.gov/climatechange/kids/index.html
- extensive information for kids about climate change, includes information about the greenhouse effect, good student resource
- Harvesting Energy (Teacher’s Domain) – http://www.teachersdomain.org/asset/lsps07_int_cellenergy/
- animation
- Cellular Respiration (Classzone – Animated Biology) – http://www.classzone.com/cz/books/bio_09/resources/htmls/animated_biology/unit2/bio_ch04_0114_ab_cellresp.html
- animation with Voiceover
- Electron Transport Chain – http://www.science.smith.edu/departments/Biology/Bio231/etc.html
- interactive tutorial
- Photosynthesis (Classzone – Animated Biology) – http://www.classzone.com/cz/books/bio_09/resources/htmls/animated_biology/unit2/bio_ch04_0104_ab_photosyn.html
- animation with Voiceover
- Calvin Cycle – http://www.science.smith.edu/departments/Biology/Bio231/calvin.html
- interactive tutorial
- Biology4Kids – http://www.biology4kids.com/files/plants_photosynthesis.html
- website for kids explaining photosynthesis
- Bozeman Biology – Photosynthesis – http://youtu.be/g78utcLQrJ4
- I love the Bozeman Biology youtube channel for Biology videos. I often link them to my class website for students to watch at home.
Is there another resource that you like to use in your class? Please share in the comments! Thanks
