Have you ever seen a tree at the grocery store buying dinner? Probably not! Discover how plants harness solar energy and other elements to make their own food through photosynthesis, a crucial process upon which all living things depend. Third-grade students will enjoy learning about photosynthesis and plant structures through this high-interest informational text filled with fun facts and colorful images. Aligned to the Next Generation Science Standards, a hands-on "Think Like a Scientist" lab activity is included at the end of the book, providing students with an opportunity to apply what they've learned in the e-book. Helpful diagrams and text features, such as a glossary and index, are also included to improve content-area literacy and support STEM education.
