A thorough investigation of cell transport is provided when completing the assignment. The first half requires biology class members to answer questions about diffusion and osmosis with the aid of diagrams. Then they fashion an...

Lab groups fill a section of dialysis tubing with glucose and starch solutions and suspend it in a water bath. They use iodine as a starch indicator and a glucose test strip to find out if either of the materials crossed the selectively...

Beginning biologists place a drop of food coloring into water of differing temperatures to observe the effect on the diffusion rate. They remove the shells from raw eggs and then experiment with osmosis over the remaining membranes....

As an anticipatory set, biologists listen to the story of Ruth Patrick, a scientist who used algae to detect water quality. They observe a demonstration of osmosis and diffusion. In their lab groups, they place Elodea stalks in...

Students investigate osmotic balance in living cells. In this osmotic balance lesson plan, students use elodea leaves to study the effects of salt solutions on the cell. They compare the changes in an elodea leaf with salt water on it to...

Students participate in a review of diffusion and the basic properties of the cell membrane before exploring the process of osmosis in a lab activity. Using shell-less eggs that have soaked in various solutions, students make...

For this transport worksheet, high schoolers compare and contrast the characteristics and examples of active transport and passive transport. This worksheet has 1 graphic organizer and 11 short answer questions.

In this osmosis activity, students put a strip of potato in three different solutions and document the changes in the potato to determine is the solutions were hypotonic, hypertonic, or isotonic. This activity has 6 short answer questions.

Students are asked how does odors move around without energy? They relate concentration gradients, diffusion, and equilbrium and predict water movement into and out of cells. Students are shown a demonstration where the teacher sprays...

Students conduct an experiment with potato cores and a sucrose solution to investigate how salt water fish process water. They develop a lab report of their experiment.

Students create an animation of a cell process and insert it into a presentation. They choose a cellular process such as mitosis, osmosis or DNA replication, and create a simple 2D animation.

In this diffusion worksheet, learners review the terms associated with diffusion and osmosis plus answer questions based on a passive transport lab they completed. This worksheet has 8 short answer questions.

In this crossword puzzle worksheet, students read the clues that relate to diffusion and osmosis. Students then complete the 20 question crossword using the given clues.
