The Leaf Food Factory (Photosynthesis)

We eat plants, but have you ever wondered what plants eat? In this lesson, you will transport into a leaf’s chloroplast with the help of your imagination. Inside of the chloroplast, you will see how plants make their food through a process called photosynthesis with the help of chlorophyll. Then, you will have two activity options to explore photosynthesis further along with an experiment where you will extract chlorophyll from the leaves of a plant.

What you’ll learn:

• What photosynthesis is and what plants use it for.
