Photosynthesis lab in Mrs. Scott's classes! Spinach leaf discs were placed in beakers with a solution of baking soda and water. One beaker was placed in the light, the other in the dark. As oxygen was produced during photosynthesis, the leaves in the beaker placed in the light were carried to the surface! This really helped the students understand this process!
