Topic: Photosynthesis
Brainstorming:
- Key processes: light absorption, gas exchange, glucose production
- Importance: energy conversion, basis of food chains, oxygen release
- Vocabulary: chlorophyll, chloroplasts, sunlight, carbon dioxide, water, thylakoids, stroma, glucose

Rap: Photosynthesis Flow
(Verse 1)
Yo, step into the plant life, let’s start the show,
Photosynthesis, the way that they grow,
Sunlight beamin’ down, on leaves it flow,
Chlorophyll’s the pigment makin’ the green glow.
In the chloroplast, that’s the site of the magic,
Water and CO2 mix, it ain’t tragic,
Thylakoids stackin’ up, that’s the first phase,
Light reactions pumpin’ energy in so many ways.
(Chorus)
Photosynthesis, the energy twist,
Turning sunlight to food, you don't wanna miss,
Carbon dioxide and water in the mix,
Oxygen’s released, like a nature’s fix!
(Verse 2)
Now check the stroma, where the dark reactions hit,
Calvin Cycle runnin’, that’s the final bit,
Sugar production, we makin’ up that glucose,
Fuel for the world, it’s what plants boast.
From leaves to the roots, it spreads real wide,
Energy transformin’, flowin’ with pride,
Imagine a life without photosynthesis grind,
No plants, no food, it’s a world maligned!
(Chorus)
Photosynthesis, the energy twist,
Turning sunlight to food, you don't wanna miss,
Carbon dioxide and water in the mix,
Oxygen’s released, like a nature’s fix!
(Bridge)
So remember the cycle, it’s a beautiful fact,
Life’s all connected, there’s no need to act,
From the tiniest microbes to the tallest tree,
Photosynthesis supports you and me!
(Outro)
So give it up for the plants, doin’ their thing,
In the circle of life, they make our hearts sing,
Photosynthesis, it’s the energy reign,
Keepin’ our planet alive, it’s the ultimate gain!
