| Explore | Plants can transfer oils through spores. They photosynthesis to create food. They can live in many different regions depending on which they are built for. The environment around them can change how well a plant survives. |
|---|---|
| Research Question | How does light affect photosynthesis? How does light affect the carbon diocide levels in aquatic plants, and how does that affect the ph levels? |
| Predictions | Most likely the one in constant light will show higher levels of growth than the other two jars. This will occcur as it will make photosynthesis constant, meaning that it has no stop to it. |
| Experimental Design | We will be taking an aquatic plant of some kind and put it in 3 separate jars. One will be near the window (moderate to low light), one will be under a light (high/constant light), and one will be in the dark by either being in a box or being covered completely (low to no light at all). We will use a PH indicator (Phend Red or Blue) to show which one is more successful. |
| Conclusion | The results mean that the plant exposed to complete light had the most PH, the one in regular light had a middle level of PH, and the one in complete darkness had the least PH and was more acidic. The more PH rich the tubes were the more that plant phototsynthasized. Light will affect photosynthesis and cause plants to phototsynthesis more or less depending on how much light is present. Different plants could be used, different types of lights like LEDS, and the time durations can be longer to see a more present change. |
