In Photosynthesis, young learn that plants use sunlight to make food during photosynthesis. Chlorophyll makes plants green and is a molecule that catches the sunlight, sending it to the chloroplast, an organelle in plant cells that makes sugar. Some plants use photosynthesis all year; some don’t. Atoms, molecules, cells, and organelles are reviewed. (Students should be familiar with Chemistry Readers Atoms and Molecules, and Biology Readers The Cell: A Tiny City, and Plant vs. Animal Cells)
