With the help of this equipment set, it is possible to observe the process of photosynthesis using water plants as an example. The set can be used to investigate how photosynthesis depends on the light intensity, the wavelength of the light, the CO₂ content of the water and various other parameters. It can be used for students to experiment with by themselves or by the teacher for demonstration purposes. The accompanying CD-ROM contains not only detailed information for teachers including theoretical background for each experiment but also a worksheet (report) which can be completed by the students.

Topics of the experiments include when do water plants produce oxygen, how much oxygen do water plants produce, and what factors affect the photosynthesis?
