Factors affecting rate of photosynthesis

Dear 6B

We have discussed briefly on the four factors affecting the rate of photosynthesis today.

Please visit the following web link provided and jot down some notes as we will continue our discussions based on this next Wednesday. 



Do familiarize yourself with the different experiment to set-up to test for the different factors affecting photosynthesis and also, possible investigations to test for starch and oxygen produced by the leaves during photosynthesis. 

Cheers
