August 22, 2014/Friday Scope: students model the formation of a cell using two unknown substances Goal: students deduce that the interactions of certain substances form cells.
August 26/27
Scope: students are conducting a lab with potato cores in 2 different solutions of different molarity
Goal: students will set up their lab materials in order to conduct data on the next meeting date
1. Lab template particulars
2. How to calculate molarity
3. Set up lab for following day: osmosis in potatoes
August 28, 2014/Thursday
Scope: students are measuring their potato cores from the previous class period and calculating data.
Goal: students will take data and analyze it in order to be ready for an IA soon.
1. Students start by writing out their procedures, making sketch, referring to safety contract
2. Set up data table in order to show the % change in mass
3. Calculate % change in mass
4. Graph % change in mass
5. Make conclusions
