About this episode
Get ready
0:00
Little green leaf on a big tall tree
0:04
Feeling kind of empty, needed energy
0:08
The sun came out, a golden fire
0:12
Drank a little water to take it higher
0:16
Took a deep breath of the air outside
0:21
Felt a little chemical reaction inside
0:25
Oh, photosynthesis, that's the name of the game
0:29
Turning sunlight into a sugary flame
0:33
With H₂O and CO₂, it's a perfect mix
0:38
A little bit of magic, a bag full of tricks
0:42
Making sweet glucose, a tasty treat
0:46
And breathing out the oxygen, oh so sweet!
0:50
Inside the leaf are tiny green machines
0:54
Powered by the sun, living out their dreams
0:59
They're called the chloroplasts, a factory so small
1:03
With chlorophyll inside to answer nature's call
1:07
It catches every sunbeam, a solar-powered net
1:11
It's the greatest recipe you've ever met
1:16
Oh, photosynthesis, that's the name of the game
1:20
Turning sunlight into a sugary flame
1:24
With H₂O and CO₂, it's a perfect mix
1:28
A little bit of magic, a bag full of tricks
1:32
Making sweet glucose, a tasty treat
1:37
And breathing out the oxygen, oh so sweet!
1:41
So next time you eat an apple or a pear
1:45
Or take a deep breath of the fresh, clean air
1:49
Remember the green leaf, working day and night
1:54
Just making a little sugar from the light
1:58
It's the engine of the world, it's how we all survive
2:02
It's the process that keeps everything alive
2:06
Oh, photosynthesis, that's the name of the game
2:10
Turning sunlight into a sugary flame
2:15
With H₂O and CO₂, it's a perfect mix
2:19
A little bit of magic, a bag full of tricks
2:23
Making sweet glucose, a tasty treat
2:27
And breathing out the oxygen, oh so sweet!
