  • Photosynthesis is Life Song. Here is a video I created for my 6th grade science students to help them study.I hope you enjoy.
    Every living thing needs energy
    But plants and algae make their energy different ways
    They just sit there and they search the sky
    Capturing sunlight, making food and oxygen
    Photosynthesis is life
    I can tell you what it really is
    I can also tell you what it's really like
    That's right, the word Photo means light
    That the plants like
    Synthesis-putting together
    Making food, right?
    Plants and others use the light
    That they hope it's bright
    Comes from the sun
    Energy's great
    Helping their growth rate
    Converting CO2 and water
    To a new state
    At the first stage collecting rays
    Plants accumulate it
    Chloroplasts hoard it
    And use it
    Wait
    Where's it going?
    Green organelles
    Inside the cell
    Chloroplasts
    Small green sacs
    Pigments chemical
    In vesicles
    The chlorophyll is good
    No it's great
    They're solar cells powering the organelles
    Colored capsules
    But maybe orange
    And yellow
    Usually covered up
    By green
    The main pigment
    But they're always masked up
    The sun's rays on 'em
    Filling energy power up
    Captures light powers the second stage
    Every living thing needs energy
    But plants and algae make their energy different ways
    They just sit there and they search the sky
    Capturing sunlight, making food and oxygen
    Photosynthesis is life
    Photosynthesis is life
    You ever really know plants are alive
    They really breathe
    In the leaves stomata
    Producing sugars
    H2O, CO2
    Got the roots absorbing water
    From the soil
    Yeah, it gets 'em
    Now it's moving, sucking it
    Through the plant stem
    You see they have openings
    Stomata breathing
    Now the water, CO2
    Is in the leaves and these moves
    To chloroplasts
    They push
    Pull chemical reactions
    Making O2 and glucose (sugar)
    Now is the moment
    For the equation
    6 molecules of CO2
    And oxygen
    Adding light energy
    Gives 1 glucose
    And also 6 molecules
    Of oxygen
    Using sugar for food
    Some molecules
    Convert to compounds
    Sugars become cellulose
    Or stored
    For later use
    Next time you eat a plant
    Know that you're getting energy
    Life comes from our heated sun
    All the living things
    Get their energy from it
    Out the window
    See the sunlight out the windowpane
    Every living thing needs energy
    But plants and algae make their energy different ways
    They just sit there and they search the sky
    Capturing sunlight, making food and oxygen
    Photosynthesis is life
    Photosynthesis is life
    Now I know respiration's
    Breathing
    That's not what we mean
    Cells withdraw out
    Energy from glucose
    That they contain
    It is the respiration equation
    To make energy
    Add up 6 glucose
    6 oxygen
    Makes 6 water
    6 CO2
    Plus the energy
    No light in the relationship
    As crazy as this may seem
    In the cytoplasm
    Glucose molecules broken smaller molecules
    Second stage is up
    So here we go, yo
    Come inside
    Respiration in mitochondria
    Molecules get broken down to even smaller
    These chemical reactions
    They require oxygen
    In time a great
    Deal of energy
    Is released out
    That's why
    Mitochondria are
    Sometimes called
    Powerhouses of the cell
    Photosynthesis
    Co2 and water
    Makes oxygen and sugar
    But in the process of respiration
    Sugar and oxygen
    Produce Co2 and water
    Every living thing needs energy
    But plants and algae make their energy different ways
    They just sit there and they search the sky
    Capturing sunlight, making food and oxygen
    Photosynthesis is life
    Photosynthesis is life
