Last week, we performed an
experiment looking at the
principle of diffusion. Today, we
will look at how this takes place in
cells. Cells take in nutrients and
get rid of waste through their cell
membrane.
Set up demonstration with iodine,
water, dialysis tubing, and corn
starch. Ask the students to make

predictions as to what they think
will happen. Set this aside for a few
minutes while the class reads and
takes notes.

Independent practice
In small groups with group
white boards student are to
determine how each of the
following materials would get
through a cell membrane: pure
water, sugar entering a cell that
already contains a high
concentration of particles,
Sugar entering that has a low
concentration of particles, &
protein.
Bell Work: Measurement
practice – area irregular shape
made from rectangles.
Review formula. Demonstrate how
to find.
We learned more about how cells
in materials and release materials.
Today, we will begin an
investigation of these ideas.
Page 46 & 47 read the intro to the
lab “The Perfect Taters Mystery”
Stress keeping detailed data logs
and paying attention to
measurements.
Review the expectations with the
students of the lab and behavior.
Provide rubric & review.
The students are to design an
inquiry based on the provided
information to solve a problem for
Mr. Fries. They are to find the
best salt solution to maintain a
balance in the water content of
potato pieces. This is to help
students understand osmosis.
Estimated time for lab is two
periods of 45 minutes
Begin by planning experiment
and carry out their plan.

When finished have whole group

Bell Work: Measurement practice Bell Work:
Find perimeter and area.
Students will complete a webquest. No school
The webquest presents a problem in
which they must research
photosynthesis to find support for
their position
Introduce the following situation
to the students discuss the
situation and take any questions
regarding the assignment.
Discuss the rubric.
You live in the country of
Maxomania. The dictator of your
country is named Max. Max's
favorite season is Fall. He has
asked a group of environmental
advisors to build a shield that will
block the sun's rays for 20 hours
of every day. Because of the
threat of global warming and the
increased rate of skin cancer, the
environmental advisors think that
having one permanent season of
Fall is a great idea. They think it
will be a great new way of life for
the people of Maxomania.
This should take two classes. Students
will begin today and finish next
Thursday.
