Photosynthesis Diagram

Work on this independently! TO BE TURNED INTO THE IN BOX

Directions: In the box below, draw a diagram showing a tree or plant with leaves. Show where water, sunlight, and carbon dioxide are going into the plant/tree and show oxygen going out of the leaves. Remember, sugar stays in the leaves and acts as food for the plant/tree. Here is a list of everything that needs to be labeled:

·      Sunlight

·      Water

·      Roots

·      Leaves

·      Sugar

·      Carbon Dioxide

·      Oxygen

·      Write the equation for photosynthesis at the bottom.

Your diagram should be NEAT, COLORFUL, DETAILED and INFORMATIVE
