Photosynthesis Children’s Book
Photosynthesis Children’s Book Rubric
CA Standard:1f, Students know usable energy is captured from sunlight by chloroplasts and is stored through the synthesis of sugar from carbon dioxide
Directions: You will create a children’s book (elementary age reading level) explaining the process of photosynthesis. All work is to be hand done. ***Color, picture, and writing required on each page.
Page 1: Introduction _____/10 pts
a. Write a simple explanation of photosynthesis. b. Explain what plants need for photosynthesis and what they make. c. Include the balanced chemical equation of photosynthesis.
(Look in your photosynthesis notes)
Page 2: Trees/Plants _____/10 pts
a. Explain that plants are producers (autotrophs) & absorb H2O and CO2. b. Draw a picture to show H2O and CO2 going into a tree/plant. (remember how water gets into the plant) c
(Look in your photosynthesis notes)
Page 3: Sun _____/10 pts
Show and explain how light energy travels in waves and is made of different colors (ROY G BIV).
(Look in your photosynthesis notes)
Page 4: Individual Leaf _____/10 pts
a. Explain the location and function of chloroplasts in a leaf. b. Explain why chloroplasts are green.
(Look in your photosynthesis notes)
Page 5: Light-Dependent Reaction _____/10 pts
a. Draw a large chloroplast. b. Label the thylakoid membrane and stroma. c. Explain how H20 and sunlight make energy (ATP) and release O2 as a waste product.
(Look in your photosynthesis notes and book if you need extra help)
Page 6: Light-Independent Reaction (Calvin Cycle) _____/10 pts
a. Draw a large chloroplast. b. Label the thylakoid membrane & stroma. c. Explain how the CO2 & energy (ATP) made in the Light-Dependent Reaction are used to make food (glucose, C6H12O6, which is sugar).
(Look in your photosynthesis notes and book if you need extra help)
Page 7: What Affects Photosynthesis? _____/10 pts
a. Explain how each of the following affect the rate of photosynthesis; water, temperature, & light intensity. b. Draw and explain the graph that demonstrates the affect of light on photosynthesis.
(Last two sections of notes)
Page 8: What happens to glucose? The importance of photosynthesis. _____/10 pts
Explain what the plants do with their food for themselves (glucose) (See notes). Explain why photosynthesis is important for all living things, not just plants.
Page 9: Summary _____/10 pts
Summarize photosynthesis. (Look and what you created and summarize important information)
Page 10: About the author _____/10 pts
a. Explain who you are. Give some information about yourself (100 words minimum). b. Include a current picture for extra points.
Extra credit given for: a nice cover page, pop-up book, obvious extra time and effort, etc.
GRADING RUBRIC (Each page worth 10 points)
A = Neat, age appropriate, creative, colorful, correct information 9-10 points
B = Neat, age appropriate, colorful, correct information 8 points
C = Age appropriate, colorful, messy, mostly correct information 7 points
D/F = Minimal effort, wrong information 0-6 points
