Sample Learning Goals

Bubbles are given off by the plant through Photosynthesis. By measuring the rate at which the bubbles are produced it is possible to tell how fast the plant is photosyntheising (measuring amount of oxygen bubbles produced per minute).

Expt 1:light intensity affects the rate of photosynthesis

Expt 2: percentage of dissolved Carbon Dioxide in water affects rate of photosynthesis

Plants need energy to carry out important life processes like growing. Unlike animals, they do not hunt for food or eat. Instead, plants make their own food through a process called Photosynthesis. Photosynthesis takes place in the leaves of the plant.

To make food by photosynthesis, plants need water and carbon dioxide as raw materials to make food. Plants also need chlorophyll to trap light energy. the light energy is then used to combine water and carbon dioxide to produce sugar. Oxygen is also released during photosynthesis.

                                           chlorophyll

Water + Carbon Dioxide ------------------> Sugar (Glucose) + Oxygen 

                                             light

                                         chlorophyll

6 CO2 + 12 H20            ------------------>  C6H12O6 + 6 O2 + 6 H2O

                                             light

Photosynthesis occurs in two stages: light-dependent stage and light-independent stage

light-dependent stage:

Light energy is absorbed by chlorophyll and converted to chemical energy. 

Light energy is required to split water molecules into oxygen and hydrogen. (i.e. photolysis of water)

 

 

in summary, 

 

Activity 1 light intensity affects the rate of photosynthesis

For Teachers

Investigate how light intensity affects the rate of photosynthesis

Investigate how percentage of dissolved Carbon Dioxide in water affects rate of photosynthesis
