Learning Goals
View the simulation here.
A biology simulation demonstrating the rate of transpiration of 9 different plants under 4 varying conditions (control, heater, fan, lamp). Click on Run to simulate the passing of time for 1 hour and view the amount of water transpired by each plant under different conditions. Data obtained is automatically recorded in the data table to the right.
The 9 plants are English Ivy, Weeping Fig, Dieffenbachia, Devil's Ivy, Arrowhead, Coleus, Geranium, Rubber Plant and Zebra Plant.
For Teachers
- Follow the instructions in the simulation and set up the virtual experiment to investigate the effects of:
- wind or air movement
- temperature of air
- light intensity
With reference to your virtual experimental data,
- Describe the relationship between the environmental factor and the rate of transpiration.
- Explain the relationship based on your understanding of transpiration and the movement of water molecules.
You may refer to this link for more information on the movement of water molecules
