Photosynthesis
We have a collection of videos and experiments that are suitable for Biology.
In this lesson, we will learn about the process of photosynthesis, the photosynthesis equation, factors that affect the rate of photosynthesis, how the leaf is adapted to photosynthesis and how to set up an experiment to investigate photosynthesis.
