Students in biology conducted a lab in which they had to explain the process of photosynthesis. They will be able to articulate how photosynthesis, respiration and transpiration functions in plant growth and development. As well as describe the reactants and products of photosynthesis and the source of reactions from the environment.
Students had to follow written procedures to complete a lab exercise. They had to measure distance, volume, mass, temperature, and density using the appropriate tools and scale.
Even when the wind blows 60 + miles we still need our exercise! 3/4 playing 4 corners.
