As you know, we are going to learn a lot of things about plants in Unit 4.
I'd like to share with you a nice song that explains how plants produce their own food (that is why they are called producers).
Remember, this process is called PHOTOSYNTHESIS.
If you want to sing along, these are the lyrics:
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 CO2 / 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 / Pho-to-syn-the-sis
Photosynthesis
I hope you like it :)
Bye.
