"Water is essential to all known forms of life on earth. Plants and animals depend on water, and access to clean, fresh water is essential to the wellbeing of humans. Without water, the earth would be a barren, dusty, lifeless planet."
Let's start with a class brainstorm on the board, I will then upload everyone's ideas and paste them below for future reference:
PHOTOSYNTHESIS Photosynthesis is a process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy, normally from the Sun, into chemical energy that can be later released to fuel the organisms' activities. Photosynthesis is the most important biochemical process known, as nearly all life depends on it. photo - meaning 'light' synthesis - meaning 'putting together' Photosynthesis can be defined simply as the conversion of light energy into chemical energy by plants. |
Complete these questions in your work book:
- How much water is required daily by people and what type of things effect how much we need?
- What are some of the ways humans take in water?
- What is photosynthesis and what does it do?
