Photosynthesis - learning mat

This learning mat allows year 10/11 students to work through at their own pace, includes short activities and exam questions allowing you to facilitate that learning. Leveled activities allow students to meet the following criteria (taken from OCR GCSE science specification):
Foundation:
Recall the word equation for photosynthesis
Recall that the glucose made in photosynthesis is transported as soluble sugars but is stored as insoluble starch to be used for energy, growth and storage products
Explain why plants grow faster in the summer
Understand that plants carry out respiration as well as photosynthesis
Standard:
Recall and use the balanced symbol equation for photosynthesis
Describe how photosynthesis can be increased
Explain why plants carry out respiration all the time
Higher:
Describe photosynthesis as a two stage process
Explain why insoluble substances such as starch are used for storage
Explain the effects of limiting factors on the rate of photosynthesis
Explain why plants take in carbon dioxide and give out oxygen during the day and do the reverse at night, in terms of both photosynthesis and respiration
