Step 1:
Watch a clip on photosynthesis here --> Bill Nye! Type your first name, last name and click "no email."
Step 2:
In this lab, you will be experimenting with how different variables affect the rate of photosynthesis. When you place a plant in water, the bubbles given off are a sign that a plant is going through photosynthesis. As you complete the interactive lab, answer the questions on your paper. Launch the interactive lab by clicking here.
Step 3:
Draw a diagram to show the process of photosynthesis on your paper. Be sure to include the reactants and products in photosynthesis.
Step 4:
Complete a vocabulary card for the word PHOTOSYNTHESIS. Then, glue the vocabulary card into your vocabulary notebook.
Step 5:
Complete the exit ticket here. We are aiming for 80% mastery!
Step 6:
If you received an 80% or higher on the exit ticket, complete Step 6. If not, raise your hand to ask Ms. Robinson for help!
Step 7:
Go to the link here and follow the directions on your paper and on the website.
Bubbles are given off by the plant during photosynthesis. By measuring the rate at which the bubbles are produced, it is possible to tell how fast a plant is photosynthesizing. Read and follow the directions on how to use this lab simulator. Press start and record the bubbles per minute for each of the following light distances. Then, graph your results. Be sure to label each axis!
