By the end of this lesson, students will be able to:
"Where Does Food Come From?" — Write the question on the board. Students pair up and trace a food item (e.g., a sandwich) back to its original energy source. Pairs share answers; guide the class to the conclusion that nearly all food energy traces back to sunlight.
Energy Flow Diagram: Students draw and label a diagram showing sunlight → chlorophyll → glucose, with CO₂ and H₂O as inputs and O₂ as a byproduct. Teacher circulates, checks labels, and asks probing questions ("What happens if you remove the light source?").
Exit Ticket — Students answer three questions without notes:
