Photosynthesis

Date: 10.19.15

Name:

Ms. Wittenburg

Grade/Subject: 7th Grade Life Science

Objectives:
Students will read a section of the book on photosynthesis, and then take notes on the
topic. Students will then draw a diagram of the process of photosynthesis happening
within a cell.

Methods of differentiation:

Do Now:
Students will answer the questions based on the picture shown on the smartboard.
