One of the participants, Lynn, was very familiar with the lab and had actually submitted it as one of her “favorite labs” to share, not knowing that I was going to present.\u00a0 Something she said, really captures this experience and value of this lab.\u00a0 She said that one of her students (one that might not have demonstrated a lot of previous interest in biology) completed an investigation of his own question about photosynthesis and reported on it in a science fair type of format.\u00a0 Apparently he described the floating disk technique to his judges as<\/p>\n

“You can see photosynthesis happening.”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

He’s right and that’s what makes this technique such a powerful tool for learning about photosynthesis and\u00a0 doing science.\u00a0 Thanks for sharing, Lynn.<\/p>\n
