IB: Potometer
Description
Transpiration & Potometer (IB Biology)
This immersive potometer simulation allows IB students to investigate transpiration through direct manipulation of virtual equipment. Learners observe how environmental factors affect water movement in plants.
• Measure water uptake under changing conditions
• Explore effects of light, humidity, and airflow
• Connect transpiration to plant physiology
