These resources were used to guide year 9 pupils through this Key Stage 4 Required Practical. The experiment does not always work properly (in regards to approximating the intensity of the bubbles produced). Therefore, a sensible results table has been prepared, to share with the students. Activities for the students were; -design sensible experiment method -revise different types of variables identify the inverse relationship between Light intensity and distance of lamp from the plant. correct the crossed-out data in table calculate averages of number of bubbles, use correct units. Make graph with correct X axis (light intensity or distance) and Y Axis (dependent, bubbles) analyse graph, is there correlation? explain graph, what is happening to cause bubbles?
