Photosynthesis kit
You can investigate the production of oxygen via photosynthesis using encapsulated algae. Students use alginate to quantitatively immobilise algae before placing them in vials. The vials contain an indicator solution that changes colour as the quantity of dissolved carbon dioxide changes. Learn more and check out our photosynthesis kit.
