Photosynthesis and Cellular
Respiration
Children’s Book
Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration Project:
What you’re doing:
Making a children’s book teaching Photosynthesis and Cellular respiration.
The book should have a cover and at least 5 pages. Remember, children’s books
have bright colorful pages and drawings and only a couple sentences on each page.
You will have 1 week to complete the project. I will give you 3 days class time. If
you are working on the project, I will give you additional days. If you are wasting
classroom time, you will have to work on this project at home.
Use your notes, the Internet, the textbook and your own knowledge to complete
the children’s book. You may use the following to present your storybook:

Storyboard

Microsoft PowerPoint

Microsoft Publisher
Terms to use
Chlorophyll
Stomata
Chloroplast
Glucose
Oxygen
Carbon Dioxide
Energy
Water (H2O)
Make sure you include:

Accurate descriptions of the processes of photosynthesis and cellular
respiration

Brightly colored pictures indicating each of the processes.

The formulas for both photosynthesis and respiration

The above terms
