Photosynthesis lessons for AQA GCSE Biology 4.4: three 60-minute lessons with the light-intensity required practical, worksheets and an assessment. Includes the Pondweed Lab: an offline interactive where students move the lamp, count the bubbles, see their means plotted against distance and 1/d², and name the limiting factor. It works on a whiteboard, laptop or phone.
