Verity Kennedy 11I Rates of photosynthesis For this experiment we will be finding out how light affects the rate of photosynthesis. To do this we will fill a beaker with water and add some Canadian pondweed. Then we will place a funnel over the pondweed to prevent any gas escaping, then place a measuring cylinder over the funnel to measuring the amount of water displaced by the gas. This will determine the rate at which the plant photosynthesises. We will change the intensity of the light to see if this affects the experiment. Before we started the experiment we carried out a computer simulation of the experiment. We set the program to a certain amount of light the plant received and recorded the results, the temperature was set for 20 degrees and the amount of calcium chloride was set for 3%. These are the results for the light experiment that was done by...
