Photosynthesis Poster
By Ian Stukes, Henry Nichols and Kevin Lentz at Sandy Springs Friends School
Introduction
Results
We chose to measure time in seconds. In general,
our data was fairly consistent with an increase in
concentration leading to an increase of time. An
outlier was the control group because
photosynthesis didn't occur. Another outlier was
our 60% average, we feel however that this was
due more to a lack of proper testing.
Hypothesis
Conclusion
The higher the concentration of bicarbonate,
the faster spinach will reach the top.
Methods
We will have 3 sets of 5 different concentrations of
bicarbonate. We will have punched out small disks
of lettuce that will be deoxygenated in a syringe and
placed in a beaker of either 0%, 10%, 30%, 60% or
100%. for each concentration tested. the timer will
start once the lettuce has sunk to the bottom and
continue until they surface.
