Photosynthesis 10/29/15

Summary: This week we were learning about photosynthesis. I learned that plants convert light and energy from the sun into  carbon dioxide, oxygen, and a sugar called glucose. Glucose is a sugar the plant uses to give it life. And plants don't care about our need for oxygen. They ignore us. They do not care about us. Only themselves. They are selfish. So I learned that roots take in water. Carbon dioxide goes in; oxygen comes out. Sometimes oxygen goes in and carbon dioxide comes out, But pretty much this is the way photosynthesis works. We don't need to make this because we eat food and plants don't. They use photosynthesis to make food like we use ovens and things like that. So a plant needs Co2 (carbon dioxide) and H2o (water) and sometimes O2 (oxygen) to live.




SP2: Developing and using models

We weren't really using models, but we were taking notes on our photosynthesis videos. we are learning about how every thing in the ecosystem is important. Figs grow, monkeys eat them, and eagles eat monkeys. Every thing works out.
