1. Jake’s junior high science class is learning about photosynthesis and has decided to conduct an experiment.
They are going to try to grow a garden with different types of plants to investigate the process of
photosynthesis. There are two main steps in photosynthesis: Stage 1 and Stage 2. Write each sentence from
the sentence bank in the correct box in the table.

Sentence Bank:
• Sunlight splits water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen.   
• Glucose, a type of sugar, is produced.   
• Oxygen is released into the environment.   
• Chlorophyll, the green pigment found in chloroplasts, is required.

Stage 1 Stage 2

• Sunlight splits water Hydrogen react with carbon oxide and

molecules into hydrogen and give glucose
oxygen.   

Oxygen is released into the Glucose is realesed

2.Alma is planning on joining the track team this year. In preparation for the season, Alma decides she wants to start
running on her own to get in shape.

One day, Alma eats a granola bar and then runs a few quick laps around the track. How does her body obtain
energy from food that will help her while exercising? Number the lines at left to place the following events in
order based on what is happening in her body’s cells as she runs.
___2__ Oxygen is used to break down smaller molecules.
__3___ A glucose molecule enters the body cell.
__4___ A large amount of energy is released.
__2___ Smaller molecules enter the mitochondrion.
__1___ A glucose molecule is broken down in the cytoplasm.

3. Choose the image that would release carbon dioxide as a waste product.
