*Missing MC*

Conduct photosynthesis lab

Photosynthesis Lab

Distance from light source is critical. It must be the same for all replicates. Carbon vs tap water vs spring water, carbon source, tunable lights, all the grow lights in the school, outside

Video procedure: Photosynthesis Lab Walkthrough YouTube video ‪6 minutes‬
