This scientific article is devoted to the description of the mechanism of change of solar energy entering the Earth in the framework of the laws of thermodynamics. The analysis of the influence of solar energy on any elements of the ecosystem is carried out.

The productivity of crops is determined by such factors as the genetic potential of seeds, the cultivation technology used, and environmental parameters. Most environmental parameters are closely related to each other. Nevertheless, it should be noted the influence on the productivity of plants of the parameters of the lighting system and in particular the level of illumination, since about 95% of the biomass of plants is formed precisely in the process of photosynthesis.

This article includes tasks in various areas of functional literacy (reading literacy, mathematical literacy, natural science literacy, global competencies and creative thinking). All materials are united by a common theme: "Photosynthesis". The tasks are designed for students of grades 5–7, taking into account the age characteristics of children. The work is aimed at developing the indi-vidual's abilities to formulate, apply and interpret knowledge in a variety of contexts. The illustra-tions used in the work are taken from open sources on the Internet.
