Photosynthesis!
You know it, you love it, put your hands together for the thing called photosynthesis! It is everywhere, in your backyard, in your house, and it's also in the school! Plants use it all the time! Why? They use it for food! This is how it works, plants have this special chemical inside them called chlorophyll, it's what makes plants green. The leaves are like solar panels full of chlorophyll which take in the sunlight and makes glucose also known as sugar. But you may be asking why do we need plants, well it's a win-win situation; we give them our carbon dioxide and they give us oxygen. That's why we need plants, but what do plants need, photosynthesis.Click on this to go to the Photosynthesis song!
