Our Low Tech Photosynthesis Poster Project

Yep, Low Tech, with paper even! So it seems strange to post the requirements here (because the project won't appear on your blogs), but here are the requirements:

Photosynthesis Poster Project

9Lilley Biology February 2011

Goal: Create a poster to show the function and details of photosynthesis in plants

Requirements.  Your poster must show the following:

-          Overall correct formula for photosynthesis

-          Location of processes within the plant, including structure of the chloroplast

-          Light Reaction: inputs and outputs

-          Calvin Cycle: inputs and outputs

-          An explanation of the IMPORTANCE of photosynthesis to plants and animals.

Logistics:

-          This will be an actual paper poster, not a digital one

-          You need to create any images that you use, not paste them from internet sources

-          You may handwrite or type labels and explanations

-          Your poster must stand alone – you won’t get the chance to explain it to the class, so put explanations in your own words.

Evaluation. Your poster will be graded on the following features:

-          Scientific accuracy of the process shown; complete and correct – 50%

-          Visual organization – your poster makes sense and is laid out sensibly – 25%

-          Neatness, attention to detail; helpful and clear drawings + labels – 25%

Due Date: Friday 2/11. You will have class time to work on this, but you will also have to work at home. There will be no extensions given, and you will lose 10 points per day if your poster is turned in late. Get working.
