Task 1
Identify the reactants and products
Drag each molecule into the correct column.
COWS → GO
COWS → GO is a memory tool (a mnemonic) to help you remember the parts of the photosynthesis reaction: Carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight (COWS) go into photosynthesis. Glucose and oxygen (GO) come out. Sunlight is energy, not matter, so it isn't sorted below — only the molecules are.

Water (H₂O)
