The photosynthesis lab for AP bio. You can also use food coloring so the student know how to use it. I had a student come back to me a few years ago so happy that she was the only one in her college science class that use one before. This gave me the reason to keep using it. Jackie

Hi Shawn,

I use my spectrometer in chemistry, but there are some applications for biology as well. It can also be used to study photosynthesis. Chlorophyll and other plant pigments absorb light in the visible spectrum. Vernier has several different labs that can be done with their spectrophotometer that might give you some more ideas. They should work with any brand of instrument.
