The potometer
Using a potometer in the nice sunshine. The students can easily see the uptake of water and movement by transpiration. Important to set this up underwater. I am using watercress. It grows fast, has soft stems that easily fit into the tube and being water plants they transpire fast so the students can see the results quickly especially on a sunny day.
