- Begin your bracelet with the green bead. This bead

represents the leaf, where photosynthesis occurs.
- Next comes the blue, which represents the water that is taken
in by the roots and transported to the leaf through the stem.
- Black is the next bead to go on. This represents the carbon
dioxide absorbed through the lead. Although this is a clear
gas, a black bead is used because carbon dioxide is a waste
product of respiration.
- Yellow represents the light energy that causes change.
- The clear bead is actually a UV bead which will change when
placed in sunlight, just as the water and carbon dioxide will
change due to the light.
- The pink bead comes next and represents glucose (sugar). It is
pink like the frosting on a cupcake which is all sugar.
- The final bead is white. This represents oxygen.
