Floating Plant Disk Photosynthesis Lab

• View the Youtube Video to get an understanding of how to set up this lab.
• Using the following website as a guide construct an experiment to test the rate of photosynthesis under three different conditions, under an incandescent light (30 cm from light), under ambient light, and in no light at all.
