  1. List the steps of photosynthesis.
  2. The light reactions and the Calvin cycle are linked; the products of one reaction are used in the next reaction. Which molecules are produced in the light reactions and then used in the Calvin cycle?

Grading Rubic for Part 2

Beginning
5 points / Developing
10 points / Accomplished
15 points / Exemplary
20 points / Score
Tour Map / Messy , structures not shown or labeled, poor or absent drawing of plant cell, no description of events seen at each site / Average appearance, not all structures present or labeled, events seen not listed, poor plant cell / Attractive appearance, most structures present and labeled, most events listed, plant cell diagram complete / Creative and attractive, all structures present and labeled, all events listed, correct diagram of plant cell
Itinerary / Absent, too short, no descriptions, not realistic, incomplete, uncreative / Not all processes mentioned, does not resemble a real itinerary, not very creative / Most events mentioned, somewhat realistic and authentic in appearance, somewhat creative in design / Very creative with all processes mentioned in correct sequence, very realistic in appearance and design
Tour Guide Script / Absent, incorrect, or incomplete; very short without descriptions of processes; does not resemble tour guide script / Not very descriptive, sounds more like a rehash of notes than tour guide script, somewhat inaccurate or incomplete / Sounds conversational rather than like the notes, most processes described correctly and completely / Very creative, sounds like a tour guide script rather than a rehash of notes, accurate and complete description of processes
