This hands-on, science curriculum unit is written for the study of photosynthesis in grades 1-3. Through the implementation of this unit, one month or more of the academic year will be devoted to the study of photosynthesis. All classroom subjects (i.e.: Language Arts, Mathematics) will be integrated into the science subject matter. Full days will be spent discussing and actively participating in the topics of photosynthesis. A specific section of each day will be devoted to science experiments and activities involving such sub-topics as "Plants and What They Need", "Growing Seeds", and "The Ways of Plants."
