Photosynthesis

​What is it?

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants and other organisms use sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to produce sugar and oxygen.


Let's watch a quick video about it!

Multiple Select

According to the video, what are the 3 factors of photosynthesis?

• Sunlight

• Water

• Dirt

• Carbon Dioxide

In this step, the plants will absorb the sunlight and take in the water from the soil and the carbon dioxide from the air.

​Step 2

In this step, the sun gives off energy in the form of light that the plants soak up!

​Step 1

The Process

Finally, the plant produces oxygen, which is the very air we breathe!

​Step 4

This step is when the plant begins to use the sunlight it absorbed to combine the carbon dioxide and the water to create glucose, aka sugar.
