Designed to work with PASCO sensors, the Photosynthesis Tank is an ideal apparatus for studying photosynthesis and respiration in aquatic life.
- 1x Acrylic chamber
- 3x Rubber stoppers
See the Buying Guide for this item's required, recommended, and additional accessories.
Product Summary
Typical experiments involving photosynthesis require students to infer photosynthetic rate changes by using chloroplasts and dye. Help your students understand this concept more completely with the Photosynthesis Tank, which allows you to directly measure the production of oxygen. The tank's lid features a convenient slot for sensors. We recommend using a Wireless Optical Dissolved Oxygen Sensor for most experiments. Stopper will accommodate other probes such as Temperature or pH measurements.
Features
- Outer tank can act as water bath to control temperature
- Can be placed on a hot plate to study the effects of temperature
- Dyes can be used to add color filters between the tanks
Applications
- Measure O2 production directly
- Control and monitor the environment of an aquatic plant
- Study changes in photosynthesis and respiration rates over time
What's Included
- 1x Acrylic chamber
- 3x Rubber stoppers
