Right now in Biology class, we are covering the complex reactions involved in photosynthesis. The students are doing so well with such a complex topic. We have had a lot of fun doing silly games and "Put It Together" manipulatives. Starting on Friday, we will be wrapping up this section on photosynthesis with a trip to the library and doing a tutorial putting everything they have learned into a packet they can use to study.
From there we will be tackling cellular respiration, yet another complex topic. At the conclusion of this chapter, I am so looking forward to the Cellular Energy Board Game that will put together all the pieces of photosynthesis and cellular respiration in a fun Monopoly-type board game.
For Students: If you would like additional practice with the concepts covered in Chapter 9, see the Biology Games section on the left hand side of this page. There are several photosynthesis games to play that will help reinforce what we have been learning in class. As we start covering cellular respiration, I will be adding more games related to those topics. Hope you enjoy!
