Cellular Respiration: Can Photosynthesis Be Reversed?

For Students 6th - 12th Standards
Cellular respiration and photosynthesis relate closely, but many don't realize how. Scholars drag and drop the reactants and products to the chemical reactions for both processes. Then they answer three multiple-choice questions.

Drums and Sound

For Teachers K - 1st
Through discussion, demonstration, and observation of performances by drum groups, students discover how vibrations create sounds. Through exploration students can infer that when drums are struck they make noise due to vibrations.
