Photosynthesis Gizmo!

Today we worked as a class to investigate how manipulating the various variable would affect the rate of photosynthesis in a plant.  Here are just a few of the things we learned:

* When we conduct an experiment, we can only change one variable at a time, otherwise we can't be sure what caused the change.
* Plants have an optimal range of wavelengths of light for conducting photosynthesis
* Temperature can affect how much dissolved oxygen is in water

Homework:  Answer the questions in the Niche packet.   Below is the color version of the figure on page 4 of the packet.  Remember: You are to work for 30 minutes, then make a note of how far you got.  Then work for 15 more minutes (generally you would only have 30 minutes of homework, but you only have two classes tomorrow).
