• Where does the tree´s increase in

mass come from?

Photosynthesis
an overview
• Plants grow because they take materials out of
the soil
• Van Helmont´s Experiment:
• 90.9 Kg of dry soil in a pot
• 2.3 Kg willow shoot planted
• Watered
• 5 years weighted
• 77 Kg (tree)
• 90.8 soil

• 90.9 Kg of dry soil in a pot
• 2.3 Kg willow shoot planted
• Watered
• 5 years weighted
• 77 Kg (tree)
• 90.8 soil

How much weight had the plant gained? 74.7 Kg

How much weight had the soil lost? 0.1 Kg

How long did the experiment go on for? 5 years

• What do we know about plants?
• Plants grow without eating food
• Plants need water

• Joseph Priestley observed that a candle

burning in a sealed jar soon went out.
• If a mouse was put into the jar it soon
suffocated
Burning uses up oxygen in the air
Animals need to breathe in oxygen
