Photosynthesis Diagram - Products and Reactants

Students see a completed photosynthesis diagram, showing the reactants and products of this chemical reaction. The drag and drop boxes have both the written word, as well as the molecular formulas to help clarify this for learners. Through numerous additional drag and drop slides students repeat the placement of reactants and products on various producers. The last slide allows students to create their own photosynthesis diagram using the drag and drop feature as well as a plant of their choice.

While the first slide is a clear example the slides could also be modified by moving a few of the boxes and have students drag the remainder.

This has been really successful when using Google Classroom, where every student receives their own copy. Slides could also be printed out and used as a gluing activity or simply a quick formative assessment by having learners write in the reactants and products.
