Let's delve into the amazing world of plants and uncover their secret superpower: photosynthesis!

Today's Challenge:

  • Find a leafy green plant (indoors or outdoors).

  • Observe its leaves closely. Notice their colour, shape, and texture.

  • Research and explain how plants use sunlight to make their own food through the process of photosynthesis.

  • Discuss the importance of photosynthesis for plants and for all living things on Earth.

  • Create a colourful diagram or drawing to illustrate the process of photosynthesis. Label the key components: sunlight, water, carbon dioxide, oxygen, and glucose (sugar).

Bonus Activities:

  • Conduct an experiment to demonstrate the effects of light on plant growth. Place one plant in a sunny spot and another in a dark cupboard for a few days. Observe and compare the changes.

  • Research different types of plants and how they have adapted to various light conditions.

  • Create a presentation or video explaining the process of photosynthesis to your family or friends.
