Abstract
This study aims to provide information about alternative experimental photosynthesis for experimental teaching practices in school in the coastal region. The research method was conducted experimentally by taking examples of Submerged plant in littoral area of Leuweng Sancang beach, Garut. Plant samples were given the same light intensity treatment, then the oxygen productivity was studied as an indicator of photosynthesis rate. The results showed that there were different photosynthetic rates in different types of submerged plants. Algae as submerged plants generally photosynthesize at high light intensity. However, there are also plants with photosynthesis in low light. The comparison between sea grass (Thallasia sp) with sea weed (Ulva sp) shows the difference in oxygen productivity. Submerged plants based on their ability to produce measurable oxygen can be utilized for experiments on photosynthesis learning.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
