What Biology lab would be complete without an experiment in photosynthesis?
Typical experiments involving photosynthesis require students to infer
photosynthetic rate changes by using chloroplasts and dye. Help students
understand this concept more completely by directly measuring the production of
oxygen.
PASCO designed the Photosynthesis Tank specifically to improve
the measurement of oxygen in photosynthesis.
The photosynthesis tank has
two concentric Plexiglas chambers. This unique design allows students to control
the environment without interfering with the measurements. In addition, the
rubber stopper seals the inner environment so oxygen is not exchanged between
the atmosphere and the sample. Two back-bored openings in the stopper form a
tight seal with the sensors, but also allow for easy insertion and removal.
