9th Grade Biology students explored the movement of water across cell membranes by looking at a dataset produced with a classic classroom experiment. The experiment uses pieces of potato that are placed in six different solutions of water, each with a different solute concentration. The solute is sucrose (table sugar). The solutions range from no solute (distilled water) to a high concentration of solute and are 0.0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, and 1.0 molar sucrose. The 1.0 molar sucrose solution contains 342 grams of sucrose - a lot of sugar!
Pieces of potato are cut to similar sizes, weighed, and then placed in one of the six solutions overnight. The next day, the potato pieces are removed from the solutions, blotted dry, and their final masses are recorded. The % change in mass was calculated. A data table and graph were created in Google Sheets and inserted into the students' lab reports.
