How to conduct the experiment
Things Needed for the Experiment to work:
Michael Kwon, Reona Ido
Biology 11
Mr. Lawrence
Equation for Photosynthesis:
6 CO2 (g) + H2O (l) -> C6H12O6 (aq) + 6O2 (g)

Reona and Michael have been growing aquatic plants for a while, specifically Elodeas which is a type of pond weed. Michael states that a higher light intensity would increase the rate of photosynthesis, however, Reona disagrees. They both decide to test this theory out by conducting an experiment. Things to remember! When there is no light, photosynthesis can't occur since light is the activation energy needed for plants to convert carbon dioxide and water to glucose and oxygen
When there is no light, the plants would use up oxygen therefore emitting carbon dioxide bubbles instead. The plants should be given a couple minutes to start initiating the process of photosynthesis before you start timing. Graph
