This document provides instructions for a project assignment on photosynthesis and cellular respiration. Students must design a project using one of the following formats: song/music video (at least 2 minutes), recipe, children's book/comic book, or board game. The project must explain the key terms and connections between photosynthesis and cellular respiration. Projects will be graded based on inclusion of required terms and processes, use of a key, presentation quality, creativity, and scientific accuracy. A grading sheet is provided. The assignment is due on Tuesday, March 6.
1. name ___________________________________________ Due Date Tuesday March 6
Photosynthesis & Cellular respiration Project
50 points (must do both cell respiration AND photosynthesis)
Directions:
- Design a project that will show information about photosynthesis and cellular respiration and the
connections between the two.
- You can show the relationship between the two in the following ways:
Song/Music Video – at least 2 minutes long, any genre of music, lyrics typed, and song
performed (recorded on CD with album cover and lyric book)
Recipe – must include all key terms, explain how to “mix” ingredients to get the final end
product; pictures of ingredients and pictures of final products
Children’s Book/Comic Book- typed, illustrated, and easy to read and understand for a
CHILD; Must have characters, setting, plot, etc.
Boardgame- make a PLAYABLE board game (monopoly, candy land, battleship, be
creative) to represent photosynthesis and cellular respiration; must be packaged in a box, include directions, have
all pieces and cards
-You can include both photosynthesis and cell respiration in one big project or split it up into two projects (song and a
book, recipe and a song, two books, board game and recipe, etc…)
- Your Project Must Contain the Following Information:
