Description
Skip hours of planning with these ready to use resources for your photosynthesis reactions lesson!
Two illustrated handouts describe the light-dependent and light-independent reaction/Calvin Cycle. Students use these to complete the Google Slides activities, completing missing labels on diagrams and describing the steps of the reactions. A fun summary crossword is used to check key understanding.
Designed for student comprehension and engagement, these are perfect for High School Biology and Advanced Biology Cellular Energetics units. Plus they are zero prep activities; just assign and let students work independently.
Once students have completed the slides, the Doodle Notes are a perfect review activity or homework. Then you can easily assess student progress with the self-grading Google Forms Quiz.
There are answer slides and with handy teacher guides so you know how to use these activities in your classroom.

- The “big picture” of photosynthesis – where the reactants come from, basic equations, importance etc.
- Organelles – chloroplasts, membranes, etc.
- Diffusion, active transport and concentration gradients
- Basic biochemistry – knowledge of ions, atoms, protons, electrons, chemical formula of water, etc.
