CO2/O2 Cycle, Photosynthesis & Leaves
Station 1: CO2/O2 Clay
Make a model of the CO2/O2 cycle with clay, and label what is taking in CO2 and what is taking in O2. Include animals and plants that would actually live in the same ecosystem together. Here are some ideas: Ecosystem Pics from Google
Station 2: Photosynthesis
Copy the notes from my science notebook. Then, research photosythesis in more detail and include some notes in science notebook. Be sure to include these parts of the plant and what they do:
chloroplast
cholorphyll
stomata
Thylakoid
Xylem
Peticle
Stem
PHOTOSYNTHESIS
Photosynthesis
Infographic on photosynthesis
Photosynthesis Article
Photosynthesis Images
Photosynthesis Video
Advanced article- very good- with diagrams
Article on photosynthesis for kids (thylakoid, cholorphyll and cholorplast)
What is thylakoid? wiki
Structure of plants- study video stops after while
Photosynthesis light reactions video advanced
Photosyntheis for kids article
Pictures of photosynthesis
Station 3: Take a look at the leaf and seed samples at your table. Draw at least two different leaves from the samples at the table. Be sure to include the name, information and label the CO2/O2 Cycle, showing what it takes in and what it releases as waste.
Next, Answer these questions below (and use computers if neccessary):
1) What are possible different leaf arrangements? Draw the different types in your science notebook:

2) Coniferous or Deciduous? Does it have needles or cones? Then it's coniferous. Draw a picture of coniferous, and then a deciduous to compare:
Dediuous and Coniferous- 2 main types Deciduous (broad leaves, lose leaves) and Coniferous (cones/needles)
3) Now take a look at specific types of deciduos and coniferous: There are two general types of leaves:
Simple or Compound?

4) How do you identify a tree or plant? Take a look at these links and then write down notes on how to identify plants.
Ways to identify plants:
What tree is that?
Simple Plant Key
Dichotomous Key for plants

Station 4: Leaf Observation and Plant Books
1) Observe the different leaves and flowers at your table. Draw them on your science notebook and describe their physical properties. (use descriptive words and describe their texture, shape, size, length, color, density.) You can also place the leaf under your paper and light sketch over them to capture the texture in your drawing.
2) Read at least one of the books at your table and look into different types of trees and plants. Find a few favorites and draw them. Make sure to include their name, where they are native to, and what environment they live in.
3) Research different native plants in Texas and Austin. Draw a few and name them. Native Plants
