As a Children's Music Specialist, I have written a number of songs for teachers to use as a tool to enhance the learning process for elementary school children--public and private schools. The process of photosynthesis can be difficult to learn, so I used

Song Description

The process of photosynthesis and the food chain cycle.

Lyrics

PHOTOSYNTHESIS

1...2...3...4!

(Chorus)
Photosynthesis! Life begins with this
Starting with the Sun in our ecosystem

1. The chain of energy starts with plants that need
Solar energy to make food in their leaves
Minerals in the soil, water, sunlight join
Grow organically fruits and veggies and leaves (Chorus)

2. Animals eat the plants, worms eat the grass
And food energy moves along fast
From plants to animals like deer and squirrel
Energy transfers on, it is never gone (Chorus)

3. The squirrel and the deer are eaten by the bear
And birds eat the worm ? no surprise there
Plants energy moves across species
It happens frequently, but go back and you?ll see... (Chorus)

4. Animals that die, in the ground they lie
Decomposers like bacteria and fungi
Break down and they eat materials in these
Recycling to the land what plants can use and (Chorus)

{Ending}: Go sun, go sun, go sun.
