On the face of it, System Dynamics should be a good notation for modelling chemical reactions: chemical reactions are continuous processes involving amounts of substances, and System Dynamics is suitable for modelling continuous processes involvinga mounts of substances.

Equations:

Compartments:

CO2: initial value = 100
H2O: initial value = 100
C6H12O6: initial value = 0
O2: initial value = 0

Flows:
CO2_used = 6*rate
H2O_used = 6*rate
sugar_made = rate
O2_made = 6*rate
from_atmos = 0

Variables:
rate = 0.01*CO2*2*(temperature/10)
