Photosynthesis & Respiration Factory Analogy Poster

    Your goal for this activity is to create an eye-catching, accurate poster which relates the processes of photosynthesis and respiration by drawing an analogy between them and three factories or otherwise-approved analogy. The intent is for one factory to be for the light reactions of phototsynthesis, one for the Calvin cycle (photosynthesis), and one for the entire celluar respiration process. You can modify this, however as long as the reactants and products of all three processes are shown on your poster.
    The poster must be creative and colorful. It must show all of the reactants and products of each of the three processes accurately. The reactants and products must be labeled clearly on your poster. Your group will be graded using the rubric on the bottom of this sheet. Your will receive a group grade for this activity. Also, I will be selecting posters to hang up around the room. If your poster is selected for this, you and each  member of your group will receive 5 extra credit points.
