Science Stations

• Read It – at this station the students will read a short account of the early experiments in the discovery of photosynthesis. It’s a fascinating story and the ingenuity of the experiments is remarkable.

• Make It – This will really help them understand the process. Full instructions provided, easily accessible materials.

• Analyze It – here the students will draw a graph based on data obtained from an experiment on the effects of light intensity on the rate of photosynthesis and answer questions based on their findings.

• Explore It – this station allows the students to explore where the energy in their food ultimately comes from.

• Illustrate It – at this station the students will illustrate the process of photosynthesis in their Student Record Sheets.

✋FOR EARLY FINISHERS – I’ve included an extra station for early finishers or for students waiting on a station.
