Measuring the Absorbance of Chlorophyll Solutions at Different Concentrations
In this lesson, students will extract chlorophyll from spinach leaves and make different concentrations following the dilution method. Students will learn to compare the absorbance values obtained at various wavelengths using a spectrophotometer. They will understand that absorbance of a substance is directly proportional to its concentration in a solution. The goal of the lesson is to include investigating the linearity of the relationship and gaining insights into how changes in chlorophyll concentration affect absorbance.

In this high school lesson, students will get the opportunity to engage in scientific research, studying sustainability and fuel options, while creating models to represent their knowledge.
The lesson plan consists of three labs that students can perform to investigate photosynthesis by preparing a slide and observing the chloroplast, test for the presence of glucose in leaves and
This is the first lesson in a series of four that are designed to help guide students to design and implement their own independent STEM research project.
