I am a high school biology teacher hoping to run some photosynthesis labs with aquatic plants.
I am looking for an aquatic plant I can keep in a large tank growing a large amount of it, and then have students take small portions and place them in multiple smaller containers subject to different conditions. I was wondering which type of plant, if any, would do well with being separated into several different containers and then grown for 1-2 weeks. I need the plant to tolerate being briefly moved from the main tank to smaller containers and to grow fairly rapidly over the 1-2 week experiment (under good conditions ideally an inch of growth per week or more).
I would be very grateful if you would let me know any plant(s) you think would fit my needs.
Thanks,
Adam
