You must have a minimum of 3 appropriate sources in addition to your lab manual (your manual does NOT count toward the 3-source minimum). At least one of these sources must be primary. See Appendices E, F, and G.
Your title should be original and appropriate for a scientific paper.
You may only cite your manual in the methods section.
Your introduction must contain a minimum of two sources.
Your results must contain a minimum of two (2) figures AND one (1) table. Remember to properly label and caption all figures and tables!
(For step 5 i have 3 charts and 1 table i will provide in the documents)
Your discussion must contain a minimum of one source.
Your Lab Report must be submitted via Canvas as a Microsoft Word document or PDF to receive credit.
Formatting
The title should be centered (a title page is not necessary). (Do Not worry about title, authors name, and lab partners.)
The author’s full name should follow the title on a separate
Lab partners’ names should appear on the following line.
Course, lab instructor name, date on the line below.( Biology 1441-003, Date: June, 25, 2024)
The entire document should be double-spaced, with the exception of your reference section which should be single-spaced with hanging indents.
Include page numbers.
All text should be 12pt Times New Ro
All margins should be set to 1”.

For the expirement we will be conductionong, is How does
color light affect photosynthesis? In the experiment we will spinach leaves
at the bottom of a plastic chamber. We will then wrap different colored pieces of paper around the chamber. The first test the chamber will be uncovered with just the white light, the second time the chamber will be covered with red paper, the third will be covered with green paper. After
that, we will use the O2 and CO2 sensors to measure the concentrations for 10
minutes for each light, white, red, and green. We will then record our data for each colored light after 10 minutes.
Materials: Lamp with 75W grow bulb, Data-collection interface unit, Chamber with lid,
Carbion dioxide sensor, Oxygen Sensor, Spinach leaves, Red paper, Green Paper
*Use charts and table to analyze and determine the results based off the concentration levels of O2 and CO2, and explain why those results may have happened.*
Control Variable: White light
Dependant: O2 and CO2 Concentration
Independent: Green and Red light
