Part of Lesson Plan: Egg Osmosis -- Jodi Evans

Activity Overview / Details

This is the lab that I actually have them set up on a Thursday or Friday and finish the following Thursday or Friday. The lab is a student handout that I give to my students. I break them into groups (their tables) and have them work together to set up and perform the lab. I have everything all set out and I show them how to properly measure the liquids in mL. With my classes, anyone or group who breaks an egg has to bake cookies or a treat for the entire class. This usually works very well, because breaking an egg will also put students behind if they break their egg later on. I have had eggs rupture in the cups before, so you can expect that there will be egg casualties along the way.
