Question
Design an experiment that could test the effect of a factor on the rate of net photosynthesis. This may require:
sodium bicarbonate, water, scale and graduated cylinder to make solutions with different concentrations of sodium bicarbonate
a ruler to measure distance from the light source (light intensity decreases with distance; specifically, light intensity is approximately proportional to 1/distance2)
aluminum foil or a box to prevent light from reaching the disks in the beaker
different color filters or cellophane wrap that allow through only green light, blue light or red light
a thermometer and a larger container that can be filled with hot water or ice to serve as a warming or cooling bath for the beaker with the solution of sodium bicarbonate and leaf disks.
- Describe your proposed experiment, including your research question or hypothesis, your experimental set up, how you will collect and analyze your data, and how you will interpret your data to answer your question or test your hypothesis. The research of these factors could serve as your long term project.
