Helpful resources for your labs

• to help you with the data presentation and analysis for the Germination Lab, here is a link:


• TIPS FOR GRAPHING WITH EXCEL


• for the Osmosis Lab, here is a tip on how to begin creating the model cell using dialysis tubing...just do not plagiarize it!!!!


• ¨Cut off a segment (about 10 cm long) of dialysis tubing. Moisten it with water to make it pliable. Fold one end of the segment back on itself, and tie it tightly with a string. "

Design Lab: Osmosis

• Design a lab to test the effect of one variable on osmosis in a model cell.
• The model cell must be constructed using dialysis tubing and string.
• Due date: ***changed to Friday April 3rd***
