State Standard 3.L.5: The student will demonstrate an understanding of how the characteristics and
changes in environments and habitats affect the diversity of organisms.
Indicator 3.L.5A.2: Develop and use a food chain model to classify organisms as producers,
consumers, and decomposers and to describe how organisms obtain energy.
Learning Objective(s): The students will be able to take and pass a quiz on photosynthesis with a ninetythree percent accuracy.
Essential Question(s): What is photosynthesis?
Assessment: The students will take a quiz on photosynthesis and pass with a ninety-three percent
accuracy. As well as, write their observations of the class plant. The results will be recorded on an
anything chart.
Activities/Procedures:
Opening: The teacher and the students will review what they have learned from the previous
days.
Activities: The teacher will pass out the students lapbooks.
The students will color, cut, and paste the Photosynthesis Petal Book into their lapbooks. The

The students and the teacher will discuss their observations of the class plant.
Closure: The students will turn in their journals, lapbooks, and quiz.

Photosynthesis Petal Book, crayons, glue, scissors, and KWL chart.
Development of Critical Thinking and Problem Solving:
1) What would happen if there was no photosynthesis? (Creating)
