☀️ Plants use light to make food! But they also need water and carbon dioxide. 📈 If one ingredient is missing, photosynthesis slows down—find out what's missing and balance it out! 🌙 At night, plants breathe just like us and release carbon dioxide. Built with code · remix it to add your own plant!

About this app
Cooking with Light is an interactive science education app that teaches how plants perform photosynthesis and respiration. Users can experiment with essential ingredients like light, water, and carbon dioxide, adjust environmental variables like temperature to see limiting factors, and observe how gas exchange shifts between day and night. Through guided hands-on simulations, middle school students and science learners can visually explore core botanical concepts.
Use cases
- Middle school science students studying photosynthesis and plant biology concepts
- Teachers looking for an interactive visual tool to explain limiting factors in photosynthesis
- Self-learners exploring the difference between plant respiration and photosynthesis across day and night
Features
- Toggle light, water, and carbon dioxide to observe how plants produce glucose and oxygen
- Adjust light level, CO2 concentration, and temperature to identify limiting factors in photosynthesis
- Switch between day and night modes to observe the balance between photosynthesis and respiration
- Complete step-by-step guided challenges with instant visual feedback and dynamic gas exchange indicators
