Models are powerful tools for teaching Science as they provide useful simplifications of structures and processes, helping make the unseen visible and the complex simple! Using the ready-to-use materials provided, students first assemble a model to represent Photosynthesis & Light Reactions as an aid to develop questions and explanations. They will then generate data and observations that can be used to make predications and communicate their findings to others. Using this innovative, easy-to-build model, your students will learn how chloroplasts capture light energy and use it to synthesize sugars and other biomolecules. They will also see how water is split when photons strike photosystem II and follow the electron carriers to photosystem I as ATP and NADPH are produced. The set covers non-cyclic photophosphorylation, the Z scheme, NADPH synthesis, how the proton gradient for ATP synthesis is made. It also looks at the structures of the photosystems and cyclic photophosphorylation. Includes enough materials for an individual student to work alone or 2 students to work cooperatively to assemble a paper model. Also includes a comprehensive background information providing opportunities for students to Engage, Explore, Explain, Extend and Evaluate their understanding of the concept. Satisfies NGSS Standards which encourage students to develop & use models to represent structures, systems & processes. Perfect for use at home, in the classroom or lab.
