About this Simulation

This virtual lab models the process of transpiration and enables students to investigate how environmental factors—such as light intensity, humidity, temperature, and air movement—influence the rate at which plants lose water vapor. By manipulating variables and observing real-time changes, learners develop understanding of plant physiology and the water cycle.

Learning objectives: Identify the key factors affecting transpiration rates in plants | Design and conduct virtual experiments to test hypotheses about transpiration | Explain the relationship between environmental conditions and plant water loss
