Photosynthesis Lab Walkthrough

Mr. Anderson guides viewers through a photosynthesis lab, explaining how to prepare and sink leaf chads using a syringe and carbon dioxide water. He demonstrates setting up the experiment with light and discusses variables affecting photosynthesis, such as light intensity and carbon dioxide concentration. The goal is to observe the rate of photosynthesis by watching leaf chads float due to oxygen bubbles formed during the light reaction.

Why is it important to remove air from the leaves before starting the experiment?

What is the purpose of using a heat sink in the experiment?

What happens to the leaf chads as the light provides energy?
