What is the most common way of artifically creating the ideal environment?
A greenhouse- this helps trap the sun and ensures the temperature is right for plants

What is a practical you can do to test the rate of photosynthesis?
Heating up pondweed in water with a lamp which you move further or closer to the pondweed. Bubbles are produced when photosythesis occurs and less will be produced when the light source is further away from the pondweed.
