📦 What's included:

Structured across three sections of progressive difficulty:

Section 1 (30 marks) — the definition of food, how plants take in gases, the specific carbohydrate plants make, food chain roles, the inputs for photosynthesis, and the uses of glucose, through multiple choice, a true/false table, and fill-in-the-blank covering stomata, photosynthesis, proteins, cellulose, secondary consumer, and repackaged sunlight

Section 2 (40 marks) — a matching activity on what plants take in, an extended response correcting the "plants eat soil" misconception, a four-term photosynthesis explanation, six pieces of evidence that plants are living organisms, the two uses of glucose, a food chain analysis with repackaged sunlight question, and a "plant food" bottles misconception question

Section 3 (30 marks) — extended discussions on plants as the foundation of all life, why nothing plants take in is food, and an evaluation of the importance of glucose
