Innovating Science™ Small Group Learning: Diffusion And Osmosis

Description

Students study the movement of water and nutrients across a cell membrane and observe osmosis in living tissue, investigate the relationship between surface area and volume as it relates to cells and diffusion and examine the concept of molarity as related to osmotic potential and water movement.

• Students will also be able to explain how cell size and shape affect the overall rate of nutrient intake and water elimination
• Students will use plant tissue to determine the molarities of unknown solutions based on the direction and degree of water movement
• Kit contains enough materials for 4 groups
• Teacher's manual and Student Study Guide copymasters are included
