PHOTO: stands for Light
SYNTHESIS: stands for Generate (in Greek) 
So when you put them together PHOTOSYNTHESIS it means 
Plants use light to generate energy.

Besides sunlight plants need water and Carbon dioxide (CO2) to get their food. 

Where do you think plants get their Carbon dioxide (CO2) from? People
When we breathe oxygen in the air, the air we breathe out is Carbon dioxide (CO2)

Science behind a leaf breathing
Plants help us breathe by taking in Carbon dioxide (CO2) (for photosynthesis) and letting out oxygen through their leaves. This process is called plant respiration. The leaf uses sunlight during the photosynthesis which is where the plant converts light energy into chemical energy for the planet.

During photosynthesis, the leaf gets rid of what it doesn't need which is oxygen and water. 
This oxygen is the bubbles that you see on the leaf. This bubbles is plant respiration in action!

Check out my experiment with LEAF TRANSPIRATION Experiment (what is transpiration?)

This experiment captures the water coming out the the leaves.
