Photosynthesis and Starch Detection

Exploring Photosynthesis & Cell Structures | Uncovering Starch Through Science
Grade 7 & 8 Science Activities at Shree Swaminarayan Gurukul – Secunderabad

With the divine blessings of Bhagwan Shree Swaminarayan and under the able guidance of our dedicated science faculty, the students of Grade 7D and 7E explored the topic ‘Nutrition in Plants’ with a focus on Photosynthesis. The session emphasized the essential role of sunlight, chlorophyll, carbon dioxide, and water in food production by green plants.

Adding a hands-on dimension, students observed plant cells under a microscope, clearly identifying structures like the cell wall, chloroplasts, and nucleus. This enriched their conceptual understanding and brought textbook knowledge to life.

Meanwhile, the students of Grade 8 Aqua actively participated in a Starch Test Experiment using boiled rice and iodine solution. Upon application, the color change to blue-black indicated the presence of starch, allowing learners to witness scientific principles in action.
