Key Stage 1
Meaning
Photosynthesis is how plants make their own food.
Key Stage 2
Meaning
Photosynthesis is a process that plants use make their own food using the sunlight.
About Photosynthesis
- Photosynthesis is what makes plants producers as they are able to make their own food.
- Without sunlight plants cannot do photosynthesis.
- Plants cannot survive for very long without sunlight or they will run out of food.
Key Stage 3
Meaning
Photosynthesis is the process that takes place in the chloroplasts in cells which uses Carbon Dioxide and Water to produce Glucose and Oxygen using the energy transferred to the organism by sunlight.
