The web is not a constant place; some of these links may be broken or dead.
If you cannot access a website, move on to the next one -
you have several on each topic from which to choose.

Online Examples of Other Photosynthesis Experiment s

None of these activities are in the exact form required in our class. 
Although you may use parts of what you find in these web sites, you will
still have to design and conduct your own original investigation .

 

These are a starting place for you to develop your own investigation. 
These web site will give you ideas for how to develop your own investigation - what to test, what to measure, how to measure, and how to set up the experiment.
Any investigation you do must be one of your OWN DESIGN . 
You may not simply copy the experiment of another person.  I have read every web page posted here, I know what they say, and I will know if you cut and paste or copy the work of another person.
