7A investigate pondeeed

Pondweed photosynthesises underwater. We can use this plant to help in our studies of photosynthesis.

We added bicarbonate of soda to the water so there would be lots of carbon dioxide to promote photosynthesis

Two spatulas each so its a fair test.

Mix thoroughly and then add the pondweed.

Make sure you use 10cm of pondweed each so its a fair test.

Weigh the pondweed down with a paper clip

Now put it by the light and see the bubbles of oxygen coming off.
