Welcome to your Cambridge Secondary 1 Science course!
This book covers the second year, Stage 8, of the Cambridge Secondary 1 Science curriculum. At the end of the year, your teacher may ask you to take a test called a Progression Test. This book will help you to learn how to be a good scientist, and to do well in the test.

Investigating photosynthesis.
How can we tell if a leaf is photosynthesising? One of the simplest ways is to check if it is giving off (releasing) oxygen gas. This is easiest to do if the leaf is under water, because the oxygen gas makes bubbles.
Collecting the gas produced in photosynthesis.
The diagram shows the apparatus you need to set up for this experiment. You can use any plant that grows under water. You can usually get pond weed at a pet shop, because people buy it to put into fi sh tanks. If you live near the sea, you can use seaweed instead.
Leave the apparatus in a place where the plant will get plenty of light. If it is very warm and sunny, you may see the gas collecting quickly. If it is colder and not so bright, you may need to leave it for a day to give time for the gas to collect.
