OBJECTIVES: At the end of the activity, students should be MATERIALS:
able to
 determine the ideal conditions for diffusion and osmosis
to happen, and
 describe the mechanisms of diffusion and osmosis.

PROCEDURE:

ILLUSTRATION/ PICTURE OF THE SETUP(S) WITH CORRESPONDING LABEL(S):

Setup 1 (Diffusion in different Temp.) Setup 3 (Osmosis in Thistle Funnel

Tube)

Setup 2 (Diffusion in Dialysis Tubes)

QUESTIONS:
1. From which beaker did the food color diffused faster? What was/were the reason(s) behind that rate of
diffusion? (Refer to Setup 1)

2. What characteristics of dialysis tubing made it an ideal material in demonstrating cellular diffusion?

3. After few minutes, what happened to the beaker with Potassium thiocyanate and Iron III chloride?
What are the indications of the occurrence of diffusion in that beaker? (Refer to Setup 2)

4. Describe how diffusion happened in the beaker with Iodine solution and concentrated starch solution. What
are the indications of the occurrence of diffusion in that beaker? (Refer to Setup 2)

5. Describe how osmosis happened in the Thistle Funnel Tube? (Refer to Setup 3)

CONCLUSION:
