Questions to promote student thinking about photosynthesis !

# data[].attributes.body
- Could humans survive without photosynthesis ?
- Is it possible for a plant to do too much photosynthesis ?
- If you were to lock yourself in a room full of plants would I survive?
- When trees are cut down what happens to the carbon dioxide they  absorbed?
- Why do you think humans can't do photosynthesis ?
- What human activities affect photosynthesis?

There are blank slides as I found it best to not rely on PowerPoints as students discussion should also help to lead the classroom, so I incorporated blank slides so I could write on the white board during the lesson.

Abstract
Three strategies for teaching and learning about photosynthesis are described and criticized on the grounds that none of them promotes understanding of photosynthesis as a carbohydrate‐producing process in a way which can be related to students' prior knowledge. The 'guided discovery' strategy, which currently predominates in classrooms, involves experimental procedures which frequently distract students from the crucial aspect, i.e., starch production, but leaves their prior understandings largely undisturbed. An 'element analysis' strategy and a 'meaning of plant food' strategy are also assessed.
