| Procedure of the experiment | ||
| First, put the plants into the bag of polyethylene. | ||
| Bind the bag with a rubber band. | ||
| Insert a straw into the bag, and blow. (Carbon dioxide levels will become too high if you blow too much air in. A few blows may be sufficient. ) | ||
| A gas detecting tube shows the level of carbon dioxide in the bag. | ||
| We put it in a place where sunlight hits it well so that photosynthesis will go on for about 1 hour. | ||
| This is the bag after sitting for 1 hour. | ||
| Once again, insert the gas detecting tube in the bag to show the carbon dioxide levels. | ||
| Results | ||
| The Carbon dioxide level before photosynthesis was about 2.5%. |
||
| The Carbon dioxide level after photosynthesis decreased about 0.03%. | ||
| Conclusion | ||
| By putting plants in a place where sunlight hits it, carbon dioxide could be absorbed by photosynthesis. | ||
