Photosynthesis

• The process by which the plant __________ food
• photo- light synthesis- putting together
• Chemical Terms- process whereby certain living
  plants ______ carbon dioxide (CO2) water(H2O)
  in the presence of ____, chlorophyll, and enzymes
  to form carbohydrates, mostly glucose(C6H12O6, a
  simple sugar)

9

• ____________
• A plant uses food produced during photosynthesis
  to form energy
• which is stored and released
• ___________
• Release of water vapor through plant leaves

Plant People

• 1 knee high
• 1-2 tablespoons seed
• About 1 cup of soil
• 2 eyes
• Decorations
• Hot glue (be very careful)

11
Plant people continued

• 1st pour seed into hose
• pour soil into hose, enough to make the size of a
  baseball
• tie hose in a knot so the soil and seeds are
  compacted and not loose
• Hot glue eyes on
• Nose and mouth if wanted
• After dry submerge the head in water until
  completely saturated

12
Plant people continued

• Set aside the head
• Decorate cup (body) as desired
• Fill cup ½ full w/ water
• Stick hose down into cup to absorb water w/ head
  resting on top
• Now you have your very own Plant Person!!!
  Check water daily watch its hair grow
