Discovering the Secrets of the Plant’s Famous Process

The living world is sustained by photosynthesis—it is perhaps the most famous biological process there is, and for good reason. Your students have likely already heard of photosynthesis, but this BioBox is a breakdown of how it works—sunlight, chlorophyll, oxygen, and starch all have their roles to play. Through experimentation, your students will discover just how amazing photosynthesis truly is.

After these photosynthesis experiments for kids, your students will be able to answer some essential questions about photosynthesis:

• Is all sunlight involved in photosynthesis?
• Where are chloroplasts found, and what do they look like?
• What is the importance of starch?
• Can you see evidence that oxygen is a product of photosynthesis?
