Photosynthesis is the method through which green plants and some other organisms convert light energy into chemical energy. In green plants, light energy is absorbed during photosynthesis and utilized to transform water, carbon dioxide, and minerals into oxygen and organic compounds rich in energy.

It would be unthinkable to undervalue the significance of photosynthesis in sustaining life on Earth. If photosynthesis stopped, there would quickly be minimal food or other organic materials on Earth. The majority of organisms would vanish, and eventually Earth's atmosphere would be almost lacking in gaseous oxygen. The only organisms that could survive in such conditions would be chemosynthetic bacteria, which can harness the chemical energy from specific inorganic compounds and are therefore independent of light energy conversion.

Utilize this useful lesson plan to instruct your students on the process of photosynthesis. Numerous activities are included, intended to take approximately 90 minutes. Photocopiable worksheets for students and their answers are also included at the end.

Thank you for checking out my product! This makes a great review activity or for a sub plan!  It has three parts to it.  The first is an abiotic / biotic sort where the students drag each factor to the correct box.  The second is primary and secondary circles with scenarios presented and the students have to cut and paste the scenario in the correct circle.  The third is pioneer species.  There are six pictures, and the students have to move the correct pictures into the pioneer species rectangle.

This is a google slide so you could embed into a canvas assignment and each student could do it and then submit it.  It could be shared and then each student would have to make a copy in order to work in it then submit their own copy.
