Use water plants, submerge them in water, keep all variables constant, such as light intensity, temperature and vary the CO2 partial pressure and count the number of gas bubbles given off. If you want to be more accurate, use a gas syringe. This is really the basis of the method, I'm sure you can fill in the other blanks yourself.
