Warm-up idea: Ask where most of the mass of a large tree comes from: the soil, the water, or the air. Take a vote before revealing it's mostly carbon from CO2.
Exit ticket idea: Students write the reactants and products of both processes and draw an arrow diagram showing how they connect.
Always check the AI's plan and answers before you teach.
