Usually all of my activities and lesson are for on-level 9th grade biology, however, here I have a lesson that could be used with AP, IB biology or Honors/Pre-AP depending on the level of the student. This can be used synchronously or asynchronously and is in an "interactive digital notebook" format with each slide representing one page. Make sure to scroll to the bottom for a video preview! This includes an editable teacher version and a ready-to-go student version. So this lesson has student drag pieces that represent all the components of the steps of the light dependent and light independent reaction step by step so that they can really understand where all these "pieces" come from and how they are used to create the products of photosynthesis. The pieces they will be moving, bonding, and breaking include NADPH, H+, ATP, light photons, H20, C02 etc. All the modeling will occur on slide 4, and as they move through the instructions on each slide, they will refer back to that slide and make adjustment, add new pieces, delete pieces etc. as the reactions progress. Students also read about each step along the way and answer questions. First they identify how many molecules of each reactant and product occur in the photosynthesis equation to make sure they understand the basics. This could be used at the beginning of the unit as an explore activity or in the middle of the unit where students can use their knowledge to work through the process. At the end, they take notes on the equation to help them remember where each reactant and product came from and how they were formed. They would then draw a diagram of what occurred in every step as the culminating activity. Interested in this lesson? Check out my TpT store!
