Students will use a Colorimeter to compare the rates of photosynthesis for plants in different light conditions. They investigate the role of chloroplasts and light on photosynthesis.

Key Steps

  • Image

    Comparing boiled and unboiled chloroplasts in the light with chloroplasts in the dark over 20 minutes, students study the process of photosynthesis.
