Plants need three essential conditions for photosynthesis – carbon dioxide, water and light! Plants undergo photosynthesis in order to make food, giving out oxygen in the process which all animals and human beings need to breathe in to stay alive. Light is Needed for Photosynthesis

In the experiment below, an indicator solution is yellow in the presence of a high amount of carbon dioxide, green in a low amount of carbon dioxide and blue when no carbon dioxide is present.
