Experiment on Living Matter Basic Plan--**What are you planning to do?**

In my experiment involves the amount of oxygen produces. I have one plant that is 30 cm tall that is inside a container and hooked up to a machine that measures the amount of oxygen it releases. Also I have three different types of beans that are growing and I an measuring the amount of oxygen each one is producing so that I can compare and contrast. || - The grant Idea is that I am trying to understand who often photosynthesis happens in different living beings and the amount of oxygen it produces. || Dependent Variable Name: The Oxygen Level What instrument will you use to make your measurements? Oxygen What units will your measurements be in? What do you expect the uncertainty in these measurements to be? (+/- ?) +/- )0.001 || While doing my Experiments I made different theories, like my beans aren't going through photosynthesis because photosynthesis can only happen in a leaf which my beans don’t have. So to grow they aren't using carbon dioxide instead they are using oxygen for cellular respiration. A normal plant that has leaves should be capable to live in a room that only contains carbon dioxide, even though plants need both carbon dioxide and oxygen to revive. This is because during the produces of photosynthesis the plant takes in carbon dioxide and transforms it into oxygen that the plant needs for cellular respiration. However I am left with question like do the beans take in any carbon dioxide before they grow leafs and where they get the energy to grow.. || - Mung Bean Seeds - Kidney Bean Seeds -Smooth Pea Seeds -Tissue - Zip Lock Bags - Soil - Lab Pro - Oxygen Detectors - Laptops - Air proof Containers ||
 * "**Grand Idea**"-
 * **Dependent variable** (this is what you will measure and //depends on// the value of the independent variable
 * **What I Learned**
 * The amount of light each of the plants will get, I will control this by having all the plants in the same place. Also it will be measured with a light detector. ||
 * **Materials and Setup**
 * **Procedure**

Step One: -The first thing I did was start the growth of three different beans, I put them in wet tissue then a Ziploc bag and put them in a drawer were they wouldn't get any light. - I also bought a plant that is about 30 centameters tall. Step Two: The second step was to insert my tall plant into a tube with a lid that had a hole on the top of it where the oxygen calculator would fit.Then I proceeded to connect all the wires of Lab pro so that the computer can collect the information. Step Three: -Then I did the same thing of the three pots of beans that I had how ever i put this in a graph together so that it would be easier to compare and contrast the information. (When starting the collecting of data you should go to experiment then to data collection and check the amount of time you put for the machine to collect data and how often it should collect) -My Experiment is set to collect for 72 hours and get it information every 60 minutes. (When you start the oxygen collector you should check that its, or else the experiment would not work well. To do this you go to Experiment then to ___, you press___ then you press 0 while you press the button in the oxygen collector then change it to the number you wanted it to be, Mr.Happer and I put it in 20.2o because that's what the working collecter said.) ||
 * **Background Understanding and Expectations** (What are you expecting and why?)

I would Expect that the tall plant would produce more oxygen then the beans because the plant has already started the process of photosynthesis. Also I think that at night the levels of oxygen will decrease a large amount because plants need light for them to have the energy start photosynthesis and in the night time it won't get the light need to go through Photosynthesis. ||
 * **Data Table** (make a data table with appropriate column headings; you can leave values for the dependent variable blank at first, but write down a few values of the independent variable that you plan to use)
