Today, we will begin our very important chapter on Plants and flowers. We’ll pull from recent information on photosynthesis and respiration and get the carbon dioxide cycle connection.We’ll look at parts of the flower and match flower parts with their reproductive functions. Students will receive a copy of a “Student information sheet for the Cycle of Photosynthesis and Respiration”. It is important that they understand the contents of these sheets and be able to explain it to someone else . They will be given multiple test questions on this concept in the Spring.( Handouts include “Flower parts and functions”, “Photosynthesis and Respiration”) In addition, today students will view videos giving an overview of flowers and plants and their role in nature. Students are expected to take notes on these videos .The information in these will be part of the test later on this week.Two important words today are reactants and products.
