By the end of the course students will be able to:

  • Describe light and dark phases in photosynthesis
  • Describe how the manufactured food by plants is utilized by other organisms to releases energy
  • Outline factors affecting photosynthesis and respiration
  • Design experiments on photosynthesis and respiration 

Expected Learning Outcomes

  • Learners will have  a clear understanding of the life processes of photosynthesis and respiration
  • Learners will be able to utilize the environment to teach photosynthesis and respiration
