Abstract
This NANSLO lab activity is self-contained and can be used in first semester general biology with lab, survey of biology and botany courses. In this activity, oxygen levels are measured as a function of photosynthetic rates and results graphed over time based on wavelengths of light. The lab activity includes background information on the process of photosynthesis, how light energy from the sun results in a plant's pigments absorbing its energy and events that occur in the photosynthetic pathway -- light dependent reactions and light independent events. The lab activity includes pre-lab exercises, lab exercises, and summary questions.
