Activity 2: Question Game. Estimated duration: 7 min

The Journey of Energy

Capture the molecules of light, carbon dioxide and water to give the plant all it needs for photosynthesis. If you run out of lives before all the molecules are captured, you will have to answer a few questions on photosynthesis to get a second chance. By answering questions, you learn what parts of the plant are involved in photosynthesis and how the plant adapts to changes in the environment.
