Plants need water, carbon dioxide and sunlight to make photosynthesis. Based on this, a student predicts that leaves in
the shade grow less than leaves under the sun because leaves need sunlight to grow. In this lab we will check to see if
the student’s prediction is correct. If it is correct, there should be a direct correlation in the data.
