This document summarizes a curriculum project that teaches photosynthesis through its application in artificial photosynthesis. The project uses a case study, building a dye-sensitized solar cell, and research presentations to engage students in learning about photosynthesis at the molecular level and its importance. An evaluation found that students were excited to learn about the real-life relevance of photosynthesis and were able to think critically about comparing natural and artificial photosynthesis. The interdisciplinary approach promoted deeper understanding, though challenges included developing and integrating new elements into an existing course.
