Four fully resourced lessons, including two virtual investigations, on plant anatomy and photosynthesis, each with an engaging animated PowerPoint.

Lessons Included
Plant anatomy – Naming and learning the function of the main parts of the flowering plant
Photosynthesis facts - how the leaf makes glucose; factors which affect the rate of photosynthesis; how plants use glucose; the relationship between respiration and photosynthesis.
Virtual investigation 1 – does photosynthesis require light
Virtual investigation 2 – does light intensity affect the rate of photosynthesis

There are in total a collection of thirty five worksheets, guided notes, activities and homework. For each topic, a one – page flow chart lesson plan shows where logical choices can be made between resources if time requires and a separate answer/mark scheme PowerPoint enables easy self and peer-assessment.

Each virtual investigation takes the student through the stages of making a prediction, planning, constructing a table, drawing a graph and a conclusion. They can be used as instructions for the student to follow to perform their own experiment or the scientifically accurate animations themselves can be used to obtain results.
