Lab 2: Photosynthesis Independent Research
Objectives:
to use the Qubit IRGA to measure photosynthesis
to design and implement and independent research project concerning photosynthesis
to write a lab report in standard format
Pre-Lab
Methods:
In today's lab, you will design and conduct your own
experiment. When you arrive in lab, the group will discuss possible
questions to study and then select one to investigate. You may use one of
the experiments described by
Dr. Robertson or other resource, or be more creative and chose a
different one. You will receive points for the complexity/creativity of
your experiment (note: a part of your grade on this assignment is based
on the creativity/complexity of your experiment).
Once you have settled on a question/hypothesis to test, you will gather your materials, set up the Qubit IRGA, conduct the experiment and then analyze the results. My only role will be to serve as a consultant and facilitator and gopher - otherwise, you are on your own.
PostLab:
At the completion of the experiment you will prepare a standard
lab report. This, and the
lab report checklist, are due at the
next lab period. For additional information, you may want to check the
lab report self evaluation.
