Work with a partner. One of you should have the game open, and one of you should have the questions open. As you navigate through the game answer the questions.
Once at the website wait patiently for the program to load. Select "start a new game" and begin your mission:
The controls: Use the ARROW keys to control your ship
Who is your partner?
Where will you be heading?
Looking at the image of the leaf tissues, where are the chloroplasts mostly found within the plant cells?
There are chloroplasts found in the leaf epidermis.
What is the function of the stoma (stomata)?
What are the cells most responsible for doing photosynthesis?
What are the green disks called?
What happens in the green disks?
What is the fluid/space surrounding the disks called?
What happens in this fluid/space?

Light-Dependent Reactions
Double click to select "light-dependent reactions" and zoom in on the thylakoid membrane to see how the light reactions work.
Watch the animation of the light-dependent reactions and pay close attention. Fill in the blank of the steps you observe.
What happens in step 1?
What happens in step 2?
What happens to this ATP?
What is NADPH?
What does NADPH do with the electrons?
What did the light reactions use?
What did the light reactions make?
Now it's your turn!!!
Drag and drop the stuff on the screen to make the light-dependent reactions happen. You will start with photolysis.
The Calvin Cycle
Double click to select the "Calvin Cycle" and study the Calvin cycle diagram and when you are ready to perform the Calvin cycle yourself click "next".
Phase 1: Carbon Fixation-What happens here?
Phase 2: Reduction- What changes that 3-Phosphoglycerate into G3P?
Phase 3: Regeneration of RuBP- What happens to the remaining 5 G3P molecules?
What is required for the regeneration of RuBP?
The Calvin cycle can now start over again and continue to do what?
