Week 1 Osmosis Lab Report Name: Tynasha McCallum Date: 12/01/23 Purpose: To apply the scientific method to observe and report on the process of osmosis and to investigate the effect of osmosis in cells in different solutions. Directions: Please read the Osmosis Lab instructions fully before beginning your experiment. Also read the textbook passages related to osmosis before filling out the report. Use this report form to record your predictions, observations, analysis,and conclusions. Please leave the report prompts intact and simply type your responses under each prompt . Because this report form is standard, SafeAssign will flag it with a large overlap score- do not concern yourself with this issue for this report. Hypotheses Reflect on your readings related to osmosis and cell membranes. Consider the four solutions in which you will immerse gummy bears. Briefly explain what you think will happen to the different gummy bears under the different conditions. Record which type of solution you prepared for Cup #4 in the appropriate table cell. Be as specific and as detailed as possible.Use the understanding of osmosis that you have developed from reading the text. Solution Hypothesis Water Only If the gummy bear is placed in only water then it will swell up Salt Water If the gummy bear is placed in salt water then it will shrink Sugar Water If the gummy bear is placed in sugar water then it will grow bigger Vinegar If the gummy bear is placed in the vinegar then it will shrink No Water If the gummy bear isn’t placed in any water it’ll stay the same
Materials and Methods See Osmosis Lab Instructions document for materials and methods. A metric ruler will be necessary to measure the length, height, and width in mm. Results Use the tables below to record your observations of the gummy bears after Part 1 of the lab and after Part 2 of the lab. Part 1 Results a. Record the measurements of the length, height, and width of your gummy bears in Table 1.1 before you place each of them in an experimental solution. Estimate the volume by multiplying the length x height x width. Table 1.1 Length, height, width of gummy bears (in millimeters, before treatment) Measur ement Cu p # 1 Cu p #2 Cu p #3 Cup #4 Cu p #5 Solution: wat er onl y Salt wat er Sug ar wat er Vin egar No liqu id Length (mm) 20 mm 20 mm 20 mm 20 mm 20 mm Height (mm) 10 mm 10 mm 10 mm 10m m 10 mm Width (mm) 10 mm 10 mm 10 mm 10 mm 10 mm Estimat ed Volume 200 0 20 00 20 00 200 0 20 00 b. Record the height of each of the experimental solutions you prepare before placing the gummy bears in the solutions.Record which type of solution you prepared for Cup #4 in the appropriate table cell. Table 1.2 Solution height measurement in mm (without gummy bears) Cup #1 Cup #2 Cup #3 Cup Cup #5

Record below the change in the physical characteristics of the gummy bears and solutions after they were immersed in their respective experimental solutions for 12-24 hours. Be careful. The gummy bears are fragile and slippery. The gummy bear placed in water still has the shape of a bear but looks bigger the water is clear. The gummy bear placed in the salt water appears to be smaller the color of the gummy bear is faded and the salt particles all went around the rim of the bottom of the cup. The gummy bear in the sugar water grew the gummy bear is lighter in color, the solution is still clear . The gummy bear in the vinegar dissolved. b. Record below the measurements of the gummy bears after they were immersed in their respective experimental solutions for 12-24 hours. Be sure to note what kind of solution was prepared for Cup #4. Table 2.1Length, height, width of gummy bears (in millimeters, after treatment) Measurement Cup # 1 Cup #2 Cup #3 Cup #4 Cup #5 Solution: water only Salt water Sugar water Vinega r No liquid Length (mm) 38.1 mm 19.05m m 38.1mm 0
