Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration Poster
We have been learning about the energy making cellular processes of photosynthesis and cellular respiration. You will be creating a poster depicting the interconnectedness of these energy making processes.
- Step 1: Complete the attached fill in the blank worksheets about photosynthesis and cellular respiration
- Step 2: Color your cards to be placed on your poster
o Color nicely and neatly
- Step 3: Cut out and tape/glue your cards into the appropriate places on your poster paper
o Use my sample poster to accurately place the cards on your poster
- Step 4: Label your poster
o Plan this out on the paper provided before you start drawing/writing on your poster!!!!!
o Use the information in your notes, diagrams, and fill in the blank sheets to fill in all of the important information about photosynthesis and cellular respiration
o Things to include:
§ Title
§ Overall formula for photosynthesis
§ Overall formula for cellular respiration
§ Components (reactants and products) of photosynthesis
§ Components (reactants and products) of cellular respiration
§ Explanations of how those components get into living things
§ Explanation of what happens to the products from each process
§ Connection between photosynthesis and cellular respiration
- Step 5: Post-activity writing
- Grading:
o Your poster will be graded on its neatness and the accuracy of your labelling
o Your writing will be based on grammar, spelling, punctuation, and content
