Content Videos (Lectures and animations to supplement lessons):

• Overview of photosynthesis
• Photosynthesis light and dark reactions

Interactives (Online activities for student interaction & practice with content):

• Interactive Photosynthesis Animation(students click to review the general process of photosynthesis)
• Interactive Photosynthesis Animation: Light Reactions (students click to review the process of photosynthesis)
• Illuminating Photosynthesis (students take a closer look at the oxygen/carbon dioxide cycle and the process of photosynthesis)
• Biocoach Activity (this activity consists of a brief overview of photosynthesis using nine interactive animations and a 25-question multiple-choice quiz. The animations review the important characteristics of light energy and quiz student recall of leaf and plant cell anatomy,  the general process of photosynthesis, the molecular events that take place in the chloroplast)
• Virtual Photosynthesis Lab (students perform an experiment to determine which colors of the light spectrum are used in photosynthesis as evidenced by plant growth)
• Photosynthesis Virtual Labs (download this student handout that contains links to tutorials and two virtual photosynthesis labs).

Games (Online games for students to apply & test their content knowledge):

• Photosynthesis (in this game of circular survival, students take a closer look at plants and learn what is needed for photosynthesis. What is the chemical reaction and what does it look like? Where does it all occur within the leaf anatomy and more!)
• Photosynthesis (in this interactive game, students learn how photosynthesis works by performing the light-dependent reactions and the Calvin cycle themselves and the biochemistry of photosynthesis comes alive!  Also, students learn about the anatomy of the leaf and where exactly the reactions of photosynthesis take place.)
• Photosynthesis/Respiration Game (in this Mario Brothers spin-off, students jump to collect oxygen and glucose to keep the man alive through respiration! Then collect carbon dioxide and water to help the tree do photosynthesis! Don’t fall off the screen and watch out for enemy hermit crabs and jumping fish! By the time your done, students will be experts on the basics of photosynthesis and respiration!)
