1 Setting Sail for the Island of Photosynthesis Lab Name 7 th Grade PSI Science Score /10 points Chloroplast Cove Goal: To construct a scientific explanation based on evidence for the role of photosynthesis in the cycling of matter and flow of energy into and out of organisms Objective 1: To build a detailed island diorama that highlights the process of photosynthesis in the cycling of matter and flow of energy into and out of organisms using scientific explanation based on evidence. Objective 2: To present your island diorama metaphor to the class using scientific explanation and evidence highlighting the role of photosynthesis in the cycling of matter and flow of energy into and out of organisms. Directions: 1. Put inquiry and theory into practice by compiling your evidence through research. Complete the Guided Research Lab Sheet attached as you seek to explore the process of photosynthesis 2. Build an island diorama highlighting photosynthesis as a process pertaining to the cycling of matter and flow of energy into and out of organisms (See Photosynthesis Island Diorama Guidelines). 3. Name your island diorama after a part of the photosynthesis process. Creativity is strongly encouraged!

2 4. Complete the attached Lab Reflection Sheet. 5. Present your island diorama to the class. Use the Comprehensive Rubric to guide your presentation preparation.

4 Guided Research Lab Sheet Name: Date: Goal: To construct a scientific explanation based on evidence for the role of photosynthesis in the cycling of matter and flow of energy into and out of organisms Inquiry Question: How does photosynthesis impact the flow of energy into and out of organisms? Directions: Conduct research that will help you construct a scientific explanation based on evidence for the role of photosynthesis in the cycling of matter and flow of energy into and out of organisms. You will demonstrate content mastery by utilizing your research to build an island diorama highlighting photosynthesis as process that cycles the flow of energy in and out of organisms. STEP 1: Conduct your research by exploring the process of photosynthesis: Use your class notes and the suggested web-sites for research are: Photosynthesis as Process SLIDE SHOWS: 1. (Essential) 2. (Essential) 3. (Essential) 4. (Advanced) Additional References: STEP 2: Organize your research by exploring the following essential research questions: 1. Define the process of photosynthesis:

5 2. Define the 2 stages of photosynthesis: Stage 1: Stage 2: 3. Compare and contrast the 2 stages of photosynthesis: Similarities: Differences: 4. Why are chloroplasts essential to the process of photosynthesis to occur? 5. What is the Calvin Cycle and why is it essential for the transfer of energy during photosynthesis? 6. Briefly describe the series of chemical reactions that occur during photosynthesis that impact the flow of energy in and out of organisms: 7. Draw a diagram of a chloroplast highlighting the transfer of energy during the process of photosynthesis:

6 Photosynthesis Island Diorama Guidelines Goal: To construct a scientific explanation based on evidence for the role of photosynthesis in the cycling of matter and flow of energy into and out of organisms Inquiry Question: How does photosynthesis impact the flow of energy into and out of organisms? Directions: Build a chloroplast island that features the role of photosynthesis in the cycling of matter and flow of energy into and out of organisms. Follow the steps below to build the island metaphor: 1. Utilizing information from your essential research questions, match the suggested island features with the key photosynthesis vocabulary highlighted below to build a chloroplast island. Island Terms: (THESE ISLAND FEATURES ARE ONLY SUGGESTED) Waves Beach Palm Trees River Beach Grill Resort Surf Board Tiki Hut Volcano Boat Dock Waterfall Photosynthesis Vocabulary: (NEED TO USE AT LEAST 10 Vocabulary TERMS) Chloroplast ATP Calvin Cycle Light Reaction H2O O2 CO2 NADPH Sugar (C6H12O6) Chlorophyll Photosystem Stoma Chemiosmosis Quick Reference Point (Match your Key Vocabulary Terms to Island Features) Key Vocabulary Term Chloroplast Island Feature

7 2. Utilize your matched Chloroplast Island Features and Photosynthesis Key Vocabulary Terms to create your island diorama. Be sure to label each part of your Chloroplast Island with the appropriate Key Photosynthesis Vocabulary Term. Lastly, assign a name to your island.

8 Lab Reflection Sheet Name: Date: Instructions: Reflect on what you plan to endure to understand from this lab experience. Write at least one full paragraph centered upon the steps you took to accomplish the goal of the lab: Lab Goal: To construct a scientific explanation based on evidence for the role of photosynthesis in the cycling of matter and flow of energy into and out of organisms.
