Journal Entry:
How do you calculate rate of photosynthesis? What factors could affect rate of photosynthesis?
Learning Intentions
We will learn the process called Floating Disk Method to determine the rate of photosynthesis, so you can design an investigation to explore factors that affect rate of photosynthesis.
Closing Task:
You can design an investigation to explore photosynthesis using the Floating Disk Method
