Group+6+Earth+Day+Lesson

__Lesson Objective:__ Students will be able to understand and recognize the process and equation of photosynthesis.
 * __6co2+6h20 ---> c6h12o6+6o2__ **

__Activity:__ The students will be playing photosynthesis baseball. We'll stand on the pitchers mound and teach them the equation and tell them what photosynthesis is. We will divide the kids up into three groups. Each group will be assigned a base on the field. There will be a sun in the place of the base (representing energy). The rest of the equation will be spread out around the outfield. The kids will have to run around and get all the pieces to the equation, bring the pieces back to the base (energy). Once they think they have the equation in order, the run to homeplate. The correct equation will be waiting for them at homeplate. The first team to get the equation correct will recieve two pieces of candy, losing teams will recieve one piece of candy.

Procedure: See above activity

__Materials:__ cardboard, big poster board, candy, bases (paper suns), scissors, markers, lamination machine
