 EMPOWER
1.Place a healthy plant leaf inside a container and
tightly close the lid.
2.Securely place the carbon dioxide-sensing element in
the hole in the side of the container.
3.Let the sensor equilibrate for a few minutes before
beginning the experiment.
4.Cover the container with aluminium foil.
5. For another plant, Place a lamp 15cm from the
container.
6.Click Start to begin recording data.
7. Record data for about 30 minutes, then click Stop.

 QUESTION
• Why the oxygenSlevel release for the
covered beaker is less compared to
the beaker which exposed to light?
• Does plant inside the covered beaker
undergo photosynthesis? Why?
• What is the significance of light for
photosynthesis?
 ANSWER
• When the absent of light, photosynthesis does not
occur - no sunlight for energy but respiration does
occur, which consume oxygen and gives off carbon
dioxide just as it does in animals. Thus, the level of
oxygen decrease.
• No photosynthesis occur during dark, plants did not
make food with the absent of light, so they shut down
by closing their stomata.
• Photosynthesis involves using light energy to remove
hydrogen atoms from water molecules.
 ENHANCE

Before After 2 days

~masitah put a box on the field in front of his
house. After two days, he removed the box
and he saw the grass became yellowish.
~why is this happened?
 ANSWER
• The grass did not undergo photosynthesis
because of the absent of light.
• It turns to yellowish because it does not
produce food.
• It just use the remaining food inside the
grass to continue its life.
• If the grass being exposed to the sunlight it
will become normal as the green grass.
