5.3 Oxygen-Respiration A
Experiment: 5.1
Aim: To show that living things use oxygen during
respiration.
Diagram:
Figure 5.14
Procedure:
1. The apparatus is set up as shown in Figure
5.14.
2. The three test tubes are made sure that in a
horizontal position.
3. The position of the indicator is marked with
a marker pen at the beginning of the
experiment.
4. The apparatus is kept in a dark cupboard
for three hours.
5. The position of the indicator on each test
tube is observed.
6. A report is written in my science report
book.
Observation:
1. The indicators for the test tubes containing
living things move towards the test tubes.
2. The indicator does not move for the test
tube that does not contain any living thing.
Conclusion:
1. Living things use oxygen during respiration.
The hypothesis is accepted.
