Learning objectives (Cambridge curriculum Framework): In this unit, learners
will learn more about photosynthesis including where it takes place and the
summary word equation of it. They will also understand the role of chloroplasts, light
energy during this process. Investigate the role of minerals in the growth of plants.
The unit ends by learners studying the carbon cycle.
