Osmosis+and+Diffusion+Lab

=Osmosis and Diffusion Lab=

This was a wet lab concerning the masses of potato cores, and what happened to those masses as we subjected them to various concentrations of sucrose solution. The objective was to see the mass difference, calculate the percent of change, and see how the mass changes as the sucrose concentration changes. It also has connection to what we are learning about osmosis and diffusion, and how material passes through cell membranes.
 * Introduction**




 * Reflection**

The lab went pretty well, we got the work split up, we cut the potato cores down to size, and we managed to control all the variables we could. We tried with utmost precision in doing all those tasks. We got all the data and communicated well with each other
 * What went well? **

There was a bit of an issue with cutting the potato cores, the masses of the potato groups weren’t exactly the same so maybe that would have been an issue.
 * What didn’t go so well? **

I learned how diffusion works differently in hypertonic and hypotonic situations differently, and got to see a real example of it
 * What did I learn? **

I would improve on cutting the potato cores next time, cause the masses weren’t exactly the same and that could’ve affected the results a bit. Because the whole thing kind of depended on math.
 * What would I improve next time? **
