What is the main photosynthetic organ in plants?

The main photosynthetic organ in plants is the leaf.

Leaves contain the most chloroplasts - the tiny organelles inside plant cells that contain chlorophyll. This chlorophyll absorbs sunlight to carry out photosynthesis, converting water and carbon dioxide into glucose (sugar) and oxygen. Glucose is the main energy source that sustains the plant's life, while oxygen is released into the air, which is vital for the survival of other organisms.

Students may refer to the following information about the photosynthetic organs in plants:

Are 7th-grade students in Vietnam required to master the main photosynthetic organs in plants?

Under sub-item 3 Section 7 of the General education program in Natural Sciences promulgated together with Circular 32/2018/TT-BGDDT, the content of the 7th-grade Natural Sciences curriculum includes:

Energy and Life

- Concept of Energy

- Some Types of Energy

- Energy Transformation

- Energy Waste

- Renewable Energy

- Energy Conservation

- Biological Energy (photosynthesis in plants, cellular respiration)

Thus, according to the regulations in the General education program in Natural Sciences, the main photosynthetic organs in plants are included in the 7th-grade Natural Sciences curriculum. Therefore, 7th-grade students in Vietnam are required to master the main photosynthetic organs in plants.

What are the orientations to the teaching method of 7th-grade Natural Sciences in Vietnam?

According to Section 6 of the General education program in Natural Sciences promulgated together with Circular 32/2018/TT-BGDDT, the teaching method for Natural Sciences is oriented as follows:

- Promote the active, proactive, and creative nature of students; avoid one-way imposition and rote memorization; cultivate self-control and self-study skills so that students can continue to explore and expand their knowledge, continuing to develop after graduating from middle school.

- Train skills to apply scientific knowledge to detect and solve practical problems; encourage and create conditions for students to experience and create based on organizing for students to participate in learning activities, seeking, discovering, and applying knowledge and skills.

- Apply educational methods flexibly and creatively suited to educational objectives, content, students' subjects, and specific conditions. Depending on the learning objectives, teachers can combine multiple teaching methods in one topic. Traditional teaching methods (lecture, dialogue, etc.) are used to enhance the activeness and initiative of students. Increase the use of modern teaching methods that emphasize the student's learning role (practical teaching, problem-solving-based teaching, project-based teaching, experiential-based teaching, discovery, differentiated teaching, etc., along with suitable teaching techniques).

- Teaching organizations implement a diverse and flexible range of forms; combining forms of individual learning, group learning, classroom learning, project-based learning, self-study, etc. Strengthen the application of information and communication technology in teaching science. Emphasize the use of sources other than textbooks and the system of teaching equipment provided; fully exploit the advantages of information and communication technology in teaching, and increase the use of electronic learning materials (such as experiment videos, virtual experiments, simulation experiments, etc.).
