Limiting Reactant
Chemistry classes learn the importance of a limiting reactant by first considering a cake recipe. Given the recipe and the total amount available for each ingredient, they must calculate how many cakes can be made. Finally, they apply...

Cellular Respiration: Can Photosynthesis Be Reversed?
Cellular respiration and photosynthesis relate closely, but many don't realize how. Scholars drag and drop the reactants and products to the chemical reactions for both processes. Then they answer three multiple-choice questions.

Photosynthesis
High schoolers conduct a variety of experiments on photosynthesis. In this biology lesson plan, students identify the factors required for the process to occur. They perform computerized experiments to test the amount of oxygen produced...
Curated OER
The Effects of Photosynthesis on Plant Growth
Students examine the process of photosynthesis; its products and reactants, and the sequence of the process. They diagram the light reactions, record observations of plants, and discuss how difficult it is to measure plant growth as it...
Curated OER
Cell Energy Study Guide
In this cell energy worksheet, high schoolers answer questions about the processes of photosynthesis and cellular respiration. They compare the two using a Venn diagram.
