About this Simulation

This interactive lab allows students to investigate the three key factors affecting photosynthesis: light intensity, carbon dioxide concentration, and temperature. Learners conduct virtual experiments, collect real-time data in interactive tables, and use automatic curve fitting to identify mathematical relationships between variables and photosynthetic rate.

Learning objectives: Identify and explain how light, CO₂, and temperature independently affect photosynthesis | Collect experimental data systematically and interpret trends using curve fitting | Apply quantitative analysis to biological processes and predict outcomes under different conditions
