Create a Chloroplast Model<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

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?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
