Student Exploration: Photosynthesis Lab You will be using the Gizmo located on this link: Photosynthesis Lab Gizmo Your teacher will provide the username and password to launch the “Photosynthesis Lab” gizmo. Use the Gizmo and follow along with the instructions to answer the questions. Vocabulary: carbon dioxide, chlorophyll, glucose, limiting factor, nanometer, photosynthesis, wavelength Prior Knowledge Questions (Do these BEFORE using the Gizmo.)  To survive, what gas do we need to breathe in? Oxygen  Where is this gas produced? In plants Gizmo Warm-up During photosynthesis, plants use the energy of light to produce glucose (C6H12O6) from carbon dioxide (CO2), and water (H2O). Glucose is a simple sugar that plants use for energy and as a building block for larger molecules. A by-product of photosynthesis is oxygen. Plants use some of the oxygen they produce, but most of it is released. In the Photosynthesis Lab Gizmo, you can monitor the rate of photosynthesis by measuring oxygen production
