About this app
Photosynthesis is an interactive middle-school science lesson about the conditions plants need to make glucose and oxygen. Explore how turning light, water, or carbon dioxide on and off affects photosynthesis, then adjust light, carbon dioxide, and temperature to see how the scarcest condition limits the rate. A day-and-night activity compares photosynthesis with respiration, showing that respiration continues in darkness.
Use cases
- Middle-school students learning plant biology
- Teachers introducing photosynthesis and limiting factors
- Classroom demonstrations of scientific variables

Features
- Toggle light, water, and carbon dioxide to test what photosynthesis requires
- Adjust light, carbon dioxide, and temperature levels
- View a simulated photosynthesis rate from 0 to 6
- Compare photosynthesis and respiration with day/night and light settings
- Complete guided challenges across three interactive sections
- Reset activities and advance through step-by-step missions
