Science Buddies: "Ask an Expert"

Good Evening,

I am having a problem trying to do a lab animation; I don't know where to begin?

Part 1: Using the lab animation, fill in the following data tables to help you generate your hypothesis, outcomes, and analysis:

Table 1: Rate of Photosynthesis Measured by the Number of Oxygen Bubbles

Light Bulb Trial 1 Trial 2 Trial 3 Average
0 watts
25 watts
50 watts
100 watts

Hi RBouey,

This sounds like a great project. I can usually identify a project, However, I cannot tell which project you are doing. Will you please post a link for your project so I can check the project guide I am not familiar with using lab animation for this type of application either.

However, if you are just having a problem with lab animation, you can plot your results on graph paper or using Excel. Here is the link for using an Excel table to plot your results. You would put your independent variable (the light bulb wattage) on the x axis and the number of oxygen bubbles on the y axis. You can also plot results on graph paper.

I hope this helps you get started with your data analysis. Please send the link for the original project and let us know if you have any other questions.
