Lesson 1 CP Methods
Lesson 1 CP Methods
Standards:
HS-LS1-5 From Molecules to Organisms: Structures and Processes
Use a model to illustrate how photosynthesis transforms light energy into stored chemical
energy.
CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RST.9-10.5
Analyze the structure of the relationships among concepts in a text, including
relationships among key terms (e.g., force, friction, reaction force, energy).
Educational Objectives:
● The students will be able to identify key components of photosynthesis
● SWBAT understand the importance of photosynthesis
Assessment on Learning:
● Drawing a digram of how photosynthesis works due at end of class along with
answering a few questions based on lecture and notes.
Central Focus
● Students will be able to explain and describe the process of photosynthesis
Academic Language
Language Function (select 1):
Additional Language Demands. Given the language function and learning task identified
above, describe the following associated language demands (written or oral) students need to
understand and/or use:
Anticipatory Set/ Attention Getter: Student led discussion on what they think
photosynthesis is
Questions to Ask
1. What is the purpose of photosynthesis?
2. Why is photosynthesis beneficial to other organisms?
3. Why can’t humans partake in photosynthesis?
4. What organelle is crucial in the process of photosynthesis?
5. What is the end result of photosynthesis?
Sequence of Events (include time needed):
1. Into activity discussion (5 minutes) followed by short video song

2. Explain each component of photosynthesis on white board with diagram on white board (15
mins)
3.Video to help explain diagram while they take notes (guided notes for students with
accommodations) (10 minutes)
4. Students work on their own diagrams for remainder of class (15 mins)
Conclusion/Summary:
In conclusion the process of photosynthesis is one that is a crucial part every ecosystem. Plants
set the foundation for which we live on. Without photosynthesis we would not be able to have
this conversation now. It is necessary component of life and without it we would cease to exist.

✓ Use assessment to inform instruction
9. Questions to Ask
▪ Use Bloom’s Taxonomy and LABEL each question choosing one of the taxonomy’s labels:
▪ knowledge
▪ comprehension
▪ application
▪ analysis
▪ synthesis
▪ evaluation
▪ Plan questions that demand higher levels of thinking.
