Students in Teacher Michael Salutin’s Foundation Biology class EP-M.4 conducted a practical investigation on the rate of photosynthesis and how it is affected by light intensity. Using aquatic plants, beakers, and light sources, they measured the number of oxygen bubbles released at different distances from the lamp. With the support of their MacBooks, students recorded bubble counts, timed intervals, and calculated averages using spreadsheet tools allowing them to visualize data trends and deepen their analysis.

   This engaging lab not only helped bridge the gap between classroom theory and real biological processes, but also showcased how digital tools like the MacBook can enhance scientific inquiry. The activity fostered observation skills, data analysis, and a deeper appreciation of photosynthesis in action all while integrating technology into hands-on learning.
