Seagrass and photosynthesis
This resource takes a slightly different slant on how plants can help reduce the build up of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and thereby help prevent climate change. In the video Ben Ainslie, Olympic gold medallist and driver for the Great Britain SailGP Team, explains how seagrass can be used to reduce carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
The powerpoint and activity sheets introduce plant structure and photosynthesis in the form of a word and symbol equation. In activity 4 students are required to evaluate information about various locations in Plymouth Sound to decide upon the best location to plant seagrass meadows. There are two powerpoints available, one has the video embedded in the slides whilst the other does not, thus making it quicker to download.
