HOW DO TEMPERATURE, PRESSURE AND CONCENTRATION AFFECT THE

RATE

OF DIFFUSION?

Your completed partner lab report will include:

Purpose Background Hypothesis Materials Procedure Data & Observations Conclusions Works Cited

Review

What is diffusion? Where does diffusion happen?/Can you

give examples of diffusion? What is rate? How can you measure it? What factors effect the rate of diffusion? How many variables can you test at one

time?

Question/Purpose

What lab can you develop that will test a factor that may affect the rate of diffusion across a cell membrane? How can we change temperature? How can we change pressure? How can we change concentration?

Test Materials?

What types of cells can we use to actually see change due to diffusion?

What are some solutes that we have worked with this year?

How can you change Temperature Pressure concentration

Developing the Lab and Presenting Data

Day 1 and 2 (Group pre- work)

Brainstorm on what you and your group might like to do

Form Hypothesis Add to list of

materials Create Procedure

Make sure that you are creating a procedure that will actually let you measure the rate!!!!!

Get Teacher Approval

Day 3 (Work Day) Gather Data

Quantitative Qualitative Graphs/Charts/

Pictures Form Conclusion

Presenting your data

A formal lab report will be created in class on ______________and on your own as homework.

This will be an individually written lab report. Formal lab reports will be due DEC 18, 2012

(the day after the Chapter 5 test). Lab reports must be edited by a peer or

teacher prior to handing in! You will be responsible for this material

on the test, you will need to pay attention and participate in the lab, don’t sit back and let your lab partners do the work!

You must tell your teacher on Day 1 or 2 if you need anything in addition

to these items.

How do you graph and interpret rate?
