HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

Science 8/10

Please see Mr.Wenzel (Student Teacher)

Biology 12

From last class...this is where your journal should be today...

Make your egg observations today...

Water potential:

There are notes available in the introduction of the lab. The following figures can also aid in understanding of Diffusion & Osmosis. We will be reviewing types of transports in more depth next class.

This is how you should lay out your Osmosis/Water Potential page...

Set up potato lab

Students should work in groups of 3-4

Procedure:

1.       Place approx. 10ml of each solution (and water) into 6 different test tubes. The solutions are colour coded, but should still be labelled. (***students need to clean the graduated cylinders and/or beakers after each use & to use a beaker to pour the solutions into the test tubes. Contaminated equipment will greatly influence results)

2.       Use a cork borer (approx. 5mm in inner diameter) to cut 6 potato cylinders of similar size. Do not include any skin on the cylinders.

3.       Determine the mass of each cylinder. Record the mass of each in Table 1.4. Put each cylinder into one of the sucrose solutions. (**Remind students to be careful with recording the precise mass of each cylinder and track which test tube they are being placed in. Inaccurate record keeping will greatly influence results)

4.       Cover the beakers with plastic wrap. Label the test tube rack with the group name and set aside on the back counter.

Work on journal pages (ask students to add information about proteins attached to the cell membrane, permeability, diffusion & osmosis)

These are the next pages to start... (glitter is available on the shelf)

Homework - work on journal pages & egg lab conclusion (to be collected next class)
