Understanding Osmosis through Experimentation

Help me give my students two lab kits, an apparatus set, and agar cubes so my students can experiment and observe osmosis to better understand why cells shrink and swell.

My Students

Seeing students excited about science has been the greatest gift since joining DonorsChoose.org. Your donations make hands-on learning and inclusion a reality in my classroom!

We are a rural, low-income school district surrounded by farmland, which many students live and work on.

Many of my students are tactile or kinesthetic learners who enjoy being able to get out of their desks, move around, work with their hands, experiment, and create things. I also have a unique group of learners with special needs who often require modified instruction to achieve success in our science class.

My Project

Have you ever wondered why your fingers wrinkle after swimming, why grocery stores spray water on produce, how pouring salt on a slug can kill it, or what is in the IV bag they give patients at the hospital? I want my students to investigate the importance of water balance in living organisms so that they can answer these questions and understand how osmosis and diffusion work.

Cell processes can be tough for students to understand because they can't see it happening on the cellular level.

The lab kits, demonstration apparatus, and agar cubes provided by this project will allow students to set up experiments to see how the processes of osmosis and diffusion work in real time.
