Name: Instructor & Section: Scientific Investigation Lab Worksheet Directions: Complete Table 1 based on the results obtained. Table 1 ( 8 points) Effect of Changing Osmotic Concentration of Potato as Measured by Weight Sugar Concentration Measurement 0% 5% 10 % 25 % 50 % 75 % Final weight (g) 5.5 g 4.25 g 3.74 g 3.16 g 1.95 g 3.30 Initial weight (g) 5.23 g 4.12 g 3.97 g 5.1 g 3.12 g 4.76 g Weight change 0.27 g 0.13 g -0.23 -1.94 -1.17 -1.46 % change in weight 5.16% 3.16% -5.79% -38.04% -37.50% -30.67% % Change in weight = Final weight Initial weight InitialWeight x 100 Review Questions - Do not use any personal pronouns in your answers. 1. Identify the dependent and independent variables. (2 points) DV: The % weight of a potato IV: The concentration of sugar 2. Generate a hypothesis for this experiment. (4 points) As the concentration of sugar increases, the potato weight increases, because 3. Analyze the correlation between the dependent variables and the independent variables. (8 points) a. Using Excel, plot the percentage change in the weight of the potato as a result of the sugar concentration. 4. Which concentration of sugar solution yielded the highest and the lowest change in weight? (2 points) The 5% yielded the highest and 25% had the lowest change in weight. 5. What is the relationship between the sugar concentration and the weight change? (2 points) The relationship between the sugar concentration and the weight change is that it had a negative F21 1
Name: Instructor & Section: Scientific Investigation Lab Worksheet correlation. 6. Does the experiment falsify or support the hypothesis? Explain. (4 points) The experiment falsify the hypothesis, because it was supposed to increase the weight of the potato but it actually decreased. 7. What can be learned from this experiment? (Osmosis, tonicity) (5 points) F21 2
