Our Outcomes

Students will have begun thinking about the importance of photosynthesis from an ecosystem perspective--but will have very little preparation about the specific biochemical details of photosynthesis or cell respiration. We will be using the PlantingScience module as a way to get students to think more deeply about the role of photosynthesis (and cell respiration) within ecosystems. In addition, students will be able to continue to develop their hypothesis-testing, experimental design, and data analysis skills.
