     • As oxygen is produced by photosynthesis, it comes out of solution and infiltrates the leaf tissue, replacing some of the water. This decreases the density of the disks, and they begin to float. The number of disks that float per unit of time gives a measure of the rate of photosynthesis.

   How do you float a leaf in a beaker?

   • Place the beaker under the light fixture (see photo below). Turn on the light, start a timer, and watch the leaf disks at the bottom of the cup. Notice any tiny bubbles forming around the edges and bottoms of the disks. After several minutes, the disks should begin floating to the top of the solution.

   Why do leaves float in water?

   • Plant material will generally float in water. This is because leaves have air in the spaces between cells, which helps them collect CO 2 gas from their environment to use in photosynthesis. When you apply a gentle vacuum to the leaf disks in solution, this air is forced out and replaced with solution, causing the leaves to sink.

   Why do leaf disks float up?

   • This is because the baking soda, which is sodium bicarbonate, provides the plant leaf with the carbon dioxide that it needs for photosynthesis. Without carbon dioxide, photosynthesis is not possible. How long it takes for all the leaf disks to float up depends on many different factors.

   How long does it take a leaf disk to float?

   • As the leaf disks accumulate more oxygen gas, they will eventually float to the top. The first leaf disks in the cup with the baking soda should have come up within a couple of minutes. However, in the cup without the baking soda, no leaf disks should have floated during the whole experiment.

   Why do plants float in water?

   • The light source provides light energy, the solution provides water, and sodium bicarbonate provides dissolved CO 2. Plant material will generally float in water. This is because leaves have air in the spaces between cells, which helps them collect CO 2 gas from their environment to use in photosynthesis.

   Light leaves leaves light. Photosynthetic organisms capture energy from the sun and matter from the air to make the food we eat, while also producing the oxygen we breathe. In this Snack, oxygen produced during photosynthesis makes leaf bits float like bubbles in water.
