]]> Create a Chloroplast Model

I love teaching photosynthesis but I have noticed that students struggle remembering the organelle where it occurs.  So I created this chloroplast lab activity where students get to create their own chloroplast model!  The best part is that it is edible! Who doesn’t love to learn and eat?

This activity would be great as a distance learning lab too!  I created a YouTube Video that shows step-by-step how to create the model so students can easily follow along.  Now if you wanted to do this activity in class, I would recommend that the teacher creates the tiny little pancakes (which represent the thylakoids) so students don’t risk burning themselves.  If they are doing it home, I would recommend that parents created the tiny little pancakes.  Watch my YouTube video to see exactly how the tiny thylakoids are made.

My chloroplast lab write-up is also free + plus I included FREE labels in case you wanted students to label the parts of the chloroplast.  You can download it on my tpt by clicking here.

 

Thanks,

Mrs. G

Mrs. G is the creator of this foldable.

“Often I get tired of the traditional boring notes and need something to catch my students’ attention.  Foldables are a great way to do this!  Foldables organize information in a such creative way to make the information stand out in the student’s mind.”

All of these foldables are on my pinterest account.  Feel free to follow me and pin these foldables so you can use at a later date in the classroom.

(IMAGE ABOVE)  My students have to learn the photosynthesis equation.  So you can see that I created two activities to help them achieve this.

 

 

(IMAGE ABOVE)  My first activity is a foldable.

 

 

(IMAGE ABOVE) When students open the flaps, you will see the equation in words.  I had my students also write in the reactants and products.

 

 

(IMAGE ABOVE)  When students open the flaps again, you will see the symbols representing the equation now.

 

 

(IMAGE ABOVE)  This is my second activity.  It has students answer a few questions regarding photosynthesis and then complete the equation in terms of words and symbols.

 

 

(IMAGE ABOVE)  When I have my students do this second activity, I have the students do it in pairs.  One student would receive the answer key (the white sheet) and the other student would receive the blue sheet with the yellow pieces.  The student with the answer key would guide the student doing the activity.  If the student put down one of the wrong pieces then the student with the answer key would tell him/her it is wrong and give him/her a hint to correct their mistake. Great for EL students!
