(HINT: they have 2 jobs)

• They use sunlight help to make food for the plant.

• They use moonlight to make food for the plant.

• They help make carbon dixiode for us to breathe.

• The process that plants use to make food is called photosynthesis.

Photosynthesis

So the important thing to remember is that plants use sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to make food inside of their leaves. During this process they make sugar and oxygen, which helps us!

Multiple Choice

What do you need for photosynthesis to happen?

• carbon dioxide + water + sunlight = sugar + oxygen

• carbon dioxide + sunlight = sugar

• Noodles
