After learning the photosynthesis song, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C1_uez5WX1o, we create a photosynthesis model. This model begins as a single sheet of copy paper. Fold it in half and cut out a large leaf shape. Very little scrap should be left over, but don’t toss it away! The two leaves are glued together from the petiole towards the tip. We draw in veins and label the upper epidermis. Fold the upper leaf back, so it stands up and away from the lower leaf. Draw the veins on the lower leaf. I show the students how to draw a cross-section that indicates the epidermis layer. Using some of the scraps, we cut and color a scalloped strip to represent the chloroplasts. This gets glued to the upper leaf, along the inside, right at the fold. Finally, students cut out 4 arrows, free-hand or stenciled, label each with the basic steps of photosynthesis, and glue them to the leaf.

We did a very simple art activity yesterday. We used oil pastels, watered down glue, dandelions and black construction paper. We drew dandelions on the black paper, put a big spot of glue on the top of the stem, got an "old man" dandelion and blew the seeds onto the glue. Blowing the seeds onto the glue was the favorite part of this art project! Araina lined her dandelions up in a row. Fauna wanted puffs of seeds floating in the air and a real dandelion stem in her picture. The possibilities are endless. We had a lot of fun observing and drawing the dandelions, seeing where the leaves grow and playing with the soft seeds. For more dandelion fun visit dandelion prints, dandelion cookies, dandelion syrup, and beautiful pollinators. And our dandelion jelly will be posted soon.
