Host: Laura studied at Royal Holloway University of London and the Open University. She is passionate about science communication and has presented talks about Exoplanets at Oxford University and Imperial College London. The purpose of the structure of a leaf is to allow for photosynthesis so the plant has the food it needs to survive. In this class, students will look at the structures that make up the leaf in a plant. Students will investigate the cells used on photosynthesis and the transport system of the plant in the phloem and xylem as well as how to describe the mesophyll layer and palisade layer. This class is perfect for students in Years 7 - 9 who want to feel confident in biology!
