Photosynthesis Word Web
A photosynthesis word web starts with the process in the centre and groups the words that explain it around the outside. Inputs such as sunlight, water and carbon dioxide help students recall what plants need. Products such as glucose and oxygen show what the process makes. A separate branch for chloroplasts and leaves links the process to the place where it occurs, while related terms such as chlorophyll and respiration provide useful vocabulary for later lessons. Use a word web when the aim is to build associations around one term, rather than to show a detailed step-by-step process. It also supports quick recall.

Scenario
A science student reviews key vocabulary before explaining how plants make food.
Key decisions
- Central word: Photosynthesis is the term being learned.
- Inputs: Sunlight, water and carbon dioxide show what the process needs.
- Products: Glucose and oxygen show the results.
- Connections: Related terms support recall without turning the web into a sequence.
When to reuse this
Use this word web for a short science vocabulary review or a classroom discussion starter.
