BBC
Bbc: Gcse Bitesize: Earth and Atmospheric Science
There is evidence that the Earth's early atmosphere contained less oxygen but more carbon dioxide and water vapor than it does today. Increased emissions of greenhouse gases have led to climate change. Link to a test is included.
Bio Topics
Bio Topics: Photosynthesis
This site details the process of photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the process of the production of oxygen by plants and carbon dioxide by animals, both of which are needed for respiration purposes.
Texas Instruments
Texas Instruments: Photosynthesis and Respiration
Students use the gas sensors to measure the amounts of oxygen and carbon dioxide consumed or produced by a plant during respiration and photosynthesis. They also determine the rate of respiration and photosynthesis in a plant.
