SONG!: "Photosynthesis" by They Might Be Giants
Photosynthesis
Photosynthesis
Photosynthesis
Photosynthesis does not involve a camera
Or a synthesizer
Although that's interesting too
Photosynthesis is how plants take in light
From the sun and turn it into energy
It's actually a thing on which most life depends
Here on the planet Earth
Photosynthesis
Photosynthesis
Photosynthesis
With plants
Chlorophyll cells take in carbon dioxide
Now that's the air that we breathe out
Combines it with water and exposes it to sunlight
And that's how plants can make their own food
Photosynthesis is why plants need light
And photosynthesis is why humans need plants
Because through photosynthesis plants make oxygen
And humans need oxygen to breathe
Photosynthesis
Photosynthesis

SONG!: "So Many Flowers" from Bill Nye
Look at all these flowers, must be a quarter million
Different kinds, blows my mind
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
If you're not a coward
Well, learn just how they pollinate
Stamen here, pistil there
Hey yeah yeah yeah
I wanna be where the flowers bloom
Annuals, perennials
That's why I love it when it's May or June
So many colors
Just one time I want to see
How a flower can make me sneeze
Pollen to the stigma, sweet sensation
Just a thing that we call pollination
I wanna be where the flowers bloom
Annuals, perennials
That's why I love it when it's May or June
So many colors

Time lapse photography is super cool!
What is "time lapse photography"?
Why does it look like everything is happening so quickly in "time lapse photography"?
Why do people use "time lapse photography"?
Why do plants seem to move so much when we see them in videos made with "time lapse photography"?
What can "time lapse photography" teach us about seeds?
