Featured Experiment

Lab #7 CO2 Cycle: Photosynthesis and Respiration

Measure Dissolved Oxygen directly! This photosynthesis lab is an authentic science learning experience. Your students control the independent variable (light) and quantitatively measure to result (oxygen production) - with time for analysis and critical thinking. All in about 50 minutes! Not just observation - but real science inquiry that reveals the phenomenon.

Students directly measure dissolved oxygen and easily see the relationship between light and rate of oxygen production.
