Autumn changes the colors of the leaves. This is the perfect time for students to introduce the concept of photosynthesis, the process by which plants make their own food. Photosynthesis is not as difficult as it sounds. This interactive lesson plan on photosynthesis is designed for elementary students and can be easily adapted to most […]

This is a guide to photosynthesis designed for students in introductory-level biology courses. Open the accompanying pictures or any other pictures you can find to follow along, it will help make it easier to understand. The process of photosynthesis is the process that occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells to create food for the […]

What is the relationship between plants and colored light? The color of light will affect plant growth either negatively or positively, I will explore this relationship through the paper. Light is very important in the life of a plant. Without light a plant could not grow, reproduce, or build food and materials. Thus all plants […]

The parts of a plant are divided into vegetative parts and parts of sexual reproduction. The sexual parts involved in seed production include fruits and flowers. The vegetative parts are not directly involved in reproduction. This includes stems, leaves and roots. Most plants share the same basic parts that have the same basic functions. Roots […]
This experiment served to determine the effects of light intensity on the rate of photosynthesis in the underwater plant Elodia. It was found that the rate of photosynthesis in plants accelerated when they were placed closer to a continuous light source. The rate of photosynthesis was measured by calculating the amount of oxygen, a product […]
Photosynthesis Lab (Design only) Research Question: How does light intensity affect the rate of photosynthesis on the pondweed Elodea canadensis? Hypothesis: The rate of photosynthesis of the Elodea canadensis will increase, as light intensity increases. Background Information: Photosynthesis is the process that plants use to convert available chemicals into compounds used as food. It’s the […]
