The past two weeks my students have been exploring plant cells, photosynthesis, and food webs! We “painted with chlorophyll”, extracting the organism that gives leaves their green color. We explored photosynthesis and food webs through growing our own basil. Students are tending to the plants and recording observations in their growth. Students created model plant cells, modeled ecosystems food webs with the whole class, and researched those ecosystems in small groups!
