Creatively and interestingly demonstrate that you know how energy from the sun is transferred to your body cells. Include the steps of energy transfer, the molecules involved, and the chemical reactions that take place in storing and releasing this energy. Show where the molecules come from where they go and how they get there. Include plant cells, body cells, an d the role of the three body systems that are required to process, transport, and release this energy to every cell in your body.

Read the document "Changing leaves" and write an 'expansion'. This should discussion the connection between color changes, solar energy and photosynthesis. Submit a 4-6 page typed paper, double spaced, 12 point font following MLA guidelines. Include a bibliography citing at least 3 resources. Paper will be graded on quality of research, effective use of information gained through research, credibility of sources, content, grammar and mechanics, and bibliography.

Student working in cooperative groups, will design an experiment to answer a question that they chose from a teacher generated list of questions and write a lab report using steps of scientific method. Assessment Using Writing Rubric-Lab Report

Design an experiment that investigates either the influence of: light intensity, wavelength of light or temperature on the rate of photosynthesis.

Students will put together a presentation using the App Thinglink to create interactive picture presentations to compare and contrast photosynthesis and cell respiration.

Explain the basic process of photosynthesis and its importance to life on Earth

Students must create 2-tab foldable of photosynthesis and cellular respiration following the instructions for the foldable given in class.

The students will: 1. Demonstrate their knowledge of food chains in a specific habitat. 2. Explain how energy is moved from one organism to the other in a chain of animals within a specific habitat.

This rubric will be used to evaluate student teachers and their ability to present information dealing with energy systems and their role in organisms Topics to consider: Photosynthesis Cell Respiration Biochemistry Ecological Systems Thermodynamics
