Algae Ball Inquiry


Aim: To investigate how photosynthesis and respiration rates change with changing light conditions in algae Scenedesmus quadricauda.

CLICK HERE FOR A COPY OF THE ASSIGNMENT Including the picture with pH readings 

Interpreting Results: Make up a table like below


Dark conditions
Indirect Light Conditions
Direct Light conditions
pH readings



Average pH reading




If there ends up being a big difference between Wednesday's results (below) and Thursday's results then perhaps two tables would be best.

Wednesday's Results 
Algae Ball Results 3pm Wednesdaya 26th September

Thursday's Lesson:
You should aim to do your results section today:

      1.  A table of results (as above), it may need to include photographs. 
      2.  A written summary of what was found (not discussion though, just stating exactly what was       found)
      3.  A graph or graphs
