A photorealistic classroom scene: a diverse group of middle-school students and their teacher lean over a potted plant under a grow lamp, one student holds a hand-drawn leaf cross-section while another arranges small icon cards for CO2, water, sugar and oxygen; peers point and write on worksheets amid simple sticky-note checkboxes, warm natural light and focused, collaborative energy.

Students remember and work toward outcomes framed as “I can…” or “By the end of this lesson I will be able to…”.

Teacher objective:

  • “Students will explain photosynthesis.”

Student‑friendly outcome:

  • “By the end of this lesson I can explain how plants use sunlight to make sugar and list the reactants and products of photosynthesis.”

Always pair outcomes with success criteria that define proficiency (the Degree in ABCD). Example success criteria for the “I can” above:

  • Lists at least the two reactants and two products
  • Draws a labelled diagram showing where photosynthesis occurs
  • Explains the role of light energy in two sentences
