about

Flora, the mysterious plant queen, tells the children about how plants can collect sunlight to start the photosynthesis process

lyrics

The sun is a golden star
That burns into endless space
Only a tiny part of its light
Comes to warm earth's face
The sun warms our land and air
Melts glaciers, stirs the breeze
But, oh, the magic it creates
When it reaches a plant's green leaves...

GROWING ALL AROUND US,
PLANTS COLLECT THE SUN,
SO LIFE ON EARTH CAN KEEP LIVING.
ENERGY FOR EVERYONE!

THESE LITTLE SUNLIGHT PACKETS,
WHICH ALL THE PLANTS COLLECT,
ARE KNOWN AS THE PHOTONS.
YEAH, YEAH, YEAH!

THE FIRST THING YOU MUST LEARN
ABOUT PHOTOSYNTHESIS
PLANTS NEED THE SUN
AND THE SUN FEEDS THE PLANTS

GROWING ALL AROUND US,
PLANTS COLLECT THE SUN,
SO LIFE ON EARTH CAN KEEP LIVING.
ENERGY FOR EVERYONE!

THESE LITTLE SUNLIGHT PACKETS,
WHICH ALL THE PLANTS COLLECT,
ARE KNOWN AS THE PHOTONS.
YEAH, YEAH, YEAH!

But, what do the photons do?

THEY ENERGIZE EACH PLANT'S CELLS
CAUSING ELECTRONS TO EXCITE!
GETTING THEM TO BOUNCE AND JUMP,
MOVING AROUND, TAKING FLIGHT

GROWING ALL AROUND US,
PLANTS COLLECT THE SUN,
SO LIFE ON EARTH CAN KEEP LIVING.
ENERGY FOR EVERYONE!

THESE LITTLE SUNLIGHT PACKETS,
WHICH ALL THE PLANTS COLLECT,
ARE KNOWN AS THE PHOTONS.
YEAH, YEAH, YEAH!

IT’S HOW WE BEGIN TO MAKE
FOOD AND OXYGEN.
ELEMENTS COME TOGETHER
AND ARE BROKEN APART AGAIN!

GROWING ALL AROUND US,
PLANTS COLLECT THE SUN,
SO LIFE ON EARTH CAN KEEP LIVING.
ENERGY FOR EVERYONE!

GROWING ALL AROUND US,
PLANTS COLLECT THE SUN,
SO LIFE ON EARTH CAN KEEP LIVING.
ENERGY FOR EVERYONE!

SO LIFE ON EARTH CAN KEEP LIVING.
ENERGY FOR EVERYONE!

SO LIFE ON EARTH CAN KEEP LIVING.
ENERGY FOR EVERYONE!
