Photosynthesis

We were at the bus stop this morning and Phaedra asked about photosynthesis. I have not had to explain this in quite a while :-) so I told her we'd check my accuracy on the computer. My explanation was correct - phew!
But we found this cute song and I have to share it with you...careful it is one of those songs that stay with you

If you want to know
how a plant grows
It takes water, air and sunlight
and makes cellulose.

Every plant can do this
fundamental process
and we can call this
photosynthesis

Unlike me and you
plants need CO-2
And they make oxygen
that stops us turning blue

Every plant can do this
fundamental process
and we can call this
photosynthesis

It's a miracle
how all the chlorophyll
captures sunlight in the leaves
of the plants and the trees

A plant of any size
can do it if it tries

But we're not green~
so we can't photosynthesize

Every plant can do this
fundamental process
and we can call this
photosynthesis

It's a miracle
how all the chlorophyll
captures sunlight in the leaves
of the plants and the trees

 Every plant can do this
fundamental process
and we can call this
photosynthesis


Every plant can do this
fundamental process
and we can call this
photosynthesis

Pho-to-syn-the-sis!
