Diagram 1:
Use the provided cut-outs to
make a model showing the
relationship between
photosynthesis and cell
respiration. Color the cut-outs
and use them to label the
diagram.
Diagram 2:
Draw, color and label a
diagram of the relationship
between photosynthesis and
cell respiration.
Model:
Build and label a model using
materials provided by you and/or
teacher.

Complete this rubric (20 pts) for your diagram/model and s taple it to/turn it in with your finished
diagram/model.
Answer these questions (questions mentioned in rubric - 6 o f 20 pts).

described in the simulation to
answer the question: Which colors
of the light spectrum are most
important for plant growth.
Use the data table and graph
maker in the simulation to record
and analyze your data. (Hint:
Write down your results on paper
then type them into the table all
at one time).

Fill out this form by making a
claim about how at least two
factors affect photosynthesis
