Energy capture: Photosynthesis

Use the lab simulator by clicking on the thermometer to adjust the temperature and drag the slider to adjust the amount of light. Use the following procedures to collect data:

The Effect of Light Intensity on Photosynthesis

1. Set the Thermometer to 25 degrees Celsius 
2. Set the Light Intensity to 10 Lumens.
3. Set a timer for 20 seconds
4. Count how many bubbles are produced by the plant in 20 seconds
5. Multiply the amount of bubbles by 3 to determine bubbles per minute
6. Repeat steps 2-4 for the following Light Intensities: 20 Lumens, 30 Lumens, 40 Lumens, 50 Lumens
