Rate of Photosynthesis Experiments: Investigating the Relationship between Light Intensity and Oxygen Production in Pond

The video tutorial explores the relationship between light intensity and the rate of photosynthesis in pond weed. Matt conducts an experiment using Elodea, a type of pond weed, to measure oxygen production at varying light intensities. The setup includes a lamp, boiling tube, and a beaker of water to maintain constant temperature. The experiment involves counting oxygen bubbles produced by the pond weed at different distances from the light source. Results show a decrease in bubble count as the distance increases, indicating a direct relationship between light intensity and photosynthesis rate.
