Photosynthesis Comic Project

You are never too old for comics! In this fun photosynthesis comic project, students create a photosynthesis comic to show their understanding of how plants capture and use energy from the sun.

The resource includes editable easy-to-follow background reading on photosynthesis, directions, expectations, an editable rubric, and ready-to-use comic strip templates. Students will transform complex biological processes—like light reactions and the Calvin cycle—into creative, visually engaging storylines.

By blending biology and art, this project helps students deepen students’ knowledge of photosynthesis while tapping into their creativity. Finished comics make eye-catching additions to bulletin boards, binders, interactive notebooks, or even a parent’s refrigerator door.
