called the light spectrum. This test is to determine what the impact of different light colors has on the rate of photosynthesis.
Pre-Lab:
1. Question: How does light color affect the rate of photosynthesis?
2. Hypothesis:
3. Independent variable:
4. Dependent variable:
5. Constants:
6. Control group:
Materials:
List the materials used below.
Experimental Design:
Sketch what the experimental setup looks like. Please label or color everything.
