  14. Purpose • The purpose of this experiment is to examine the effects that iron fertilization has upon the photosynthetic methods of different types of phytoplankton

  15. Hypothesis • Alternate Hypothesis – If plankton undergo iron fertilization, there will be growth in the amount of plankton therefore depleting carbon dioxide • Null Hypothesis – if plankton do not undergo iron fertilization, there will be no change in the growth in the amount of plankton therefore depleting the normal amount of carbon dioxide

  16. Do – Ability • Fully Do-able

  17. Algae/Plankton Pennate Diatoms Prochlorococcus Synechococcus Cyanobacteria Dinoflagellate Cultivated with Iron Proportional to 1 nmol to 2,000 ml of sea water Daily Photographs to be taken to see any changes in pigment of the vials Amount of Carbon Dioxide to be measured after 90 days using Pasco Probes Results Taken Statistical Analysis
