All green leave in the presence of sulight and chlorophyll and water and cabondioxide perform photosynthesis which is oxygen releasing process so u can have oxygen from leaves

To make oxygen (technically, this oxygen is not "made," it is split from water), you need the ivy to be living, it must have ample sunlight, and it must have water. Oxygen is produced when the sun's energy splits apart a water molecule into a molecule of oxygen and some hydrogen ions. Any plant will do this, as long as it meets the criteria.

This is a classic school biology experiment. Take 1 glass beaker. 1 glass funnel to fit therein, 1 test tube and 1 sprig of Canadian pond weed ( water weeds are best). Place plant in beaker, fill with water, invert funnel over plant and place water filled test tube over funnel spout. Place whole assembly on sunny window sill and sit back as test tube fills with oxygen.
About as exciting as watching paint dry, but what would you expect from school biology!

Leaves make oxygen from carbon dioxide, usually in the air. Putting your leaves in water will probably just kill the plant

yes you can
by: 1 - select some green fresh elodea
2 - Place it in a breaker filled with potassium bicarbonate solution
3 - cover the elodea with test tube to collect O2

you can make oxygen with any leaves. but putting the leaf in water, the leaf will not make oxygen

dont forget sunlight and a bit of heat if possible.
oxygen is made by photosynthesis remember.
all leav do the same as long ther alive.
