Teacher Notes

Engage: Engages the learner’s mind in the concept, process, or skill to be learned, and makes
connections between prior experiences and the current learning goals.
Ask the following questions to generate discussion to get the students thinking.
 What is transportation?
 What is its purpose?
 What are some different types of transportation? (make sure that motor vehicles, nonmotored vehicles and body power are all considered)
 When considering cells and cell structure, why would it be important for molecules to be
able to move around?
Set up the activity “Spread the Smell”. This experiment is about diffusion. Explain that
diffusion happens in liquids as well but it takes a bit longer for diffusion to occur in liquids.
Materials you will need:
 Jar of coffee
 Bottle of vinegar
 Bottle of spray perfume
 An orange
 Room freshener (Aerosol spray)
 Basil Plant (herb)
(Choose at least two of the above)





A fan (optional)
Some helpers/volunteers
Some blind folds (optional)
A stop clock (optional)
A note pad and pencil
Spread the Smell Steps:
1. Place your items of on a table at the front of the room. If you are going to use a fan place it at
the front of the room with you so that the air blows towards you participants.
2. Have your helpers form a line at the front of the room. Then ask each volunteer to (excluding
the first person in the line) take one step backwards to form a bit of a gap between each of them.
3. Ask your helpers to place their blind fold on or ask them to keep their eyes closed.
4. Leave the fan switched off. Ask your helpers to raise their hand if/when they smell something
different in the air.
5. Open the lid or spray one of your items and see how long it takes for the aroma to reach each
of your helpers. You could record your results by using a stop clock to see how long it takes for
each smell to reach each person. One test could be with the fan off and the other could be with
the fan switched on.
If you choose to use a basil plant in your experiment it is probably best if you hold the plant and
walk past each person in the line. As you get close to each person place one hand on the top
leaves of the plant and just fan them slightly with your hand to help the aroma to move through
the air. It is amazing how powerful a basil plant can smell.
This experiment is about diffusion. What is diffusion? Diffusion happens when particles mix
with each other without anything moving them. Smells move around a room and some end up in
our nose where we have smell detectors (our sense of smell). Gas particles move on their own in
the air and therefore the smells mix and spread. With the use of a fan the smells move through
the air faster.
Diffusion happens in liquids as well but it takes a bit longer for diffusion to occur in liquids.

Formative Assessment(s):
Explore: Provides or creates a common experience for all learners and helps the teacher
identify the prior knowledge of each learning to build on. This stage allows time for the learner
to explore their ideas. This stage should be concrete and meaningful to the learner.
Discuss the following terms and definitions with the class.
 Passive Transport
Movement of molecules from a more crowded to a less crowded area WITHOUT
the use of energy. Movement occurs when there are unequal concentrations of a
substance inside and outside the cell.
 Diffusion
Diffusion is the movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to a
region of lower concentration.
 Osmosis
Diffusion of water through a membrane
 Active Transport
Movement of molecules from a more crowded to a less crowded area WITH the
use of energy. Molecules are “carried” into or out of the cell using some the cell’s
energy.
 Homeostasis
The ability or tendency of an organism or cell to maintain internal equilibrium by
adjusting its physiological processes.
 Selective Permeability
Selective permeability means that the cell membrane has some control over what
can cross it, so that only certain molecules either enter or leave the cell. (Like a
screen on a window that will let air pass through, but not many insects.)

Osmosis in Potatoes Experiment
The following experiment is a fun and easy way to see the effects of plant osmosis on a plant by
comparing two different potatoes placed in different types of water
These are the materials needed to view osmosis in action:
- 2 Potatoes
- 2 Plates
- Salt
- Water
- Knife
Methods:
Fill both of the dishes with water and add about two tablespoons of salt to one of the dishes.
Using the knife, cut the potato in half lengthwise. Then Place each piece flat side down in to one
of the plates of water.
Now simply let the two potato pieces soak in the water for a few hours. After this time has passed
flip each potato over and look for differences.
When looking at the potato pieces you can clearly see a difference between the two. Let’s take a
closer look at each of the potato pieces!
The potato slice that has been soaking in freshwater. Not much of a difference here, only that the
potato is a little more rigid then before. This is because there is the more salt and other dissolved
chemicals within the potato then the surrounding water. This means that the water will move into
the potato.
This potato slice that has been soaking in saltwater. This potato pieces looks substantially
different from the original and the other slice. It seems to have wilted, gotten very soft and
flexible. Why did that happen?
It has to do with a process called osmosis. The potato is made up of tiny, living units called cells.
Each cell is surrounded by a cell membrane which acts much as your skin does. It keeps the cells
parts inside and keeps other things outside, protecting the cell.
While this membrane stops most things, water can pass through it. The water tends to move
towards higher concentrations of dissolved chemicals. That means that if the water outside the
cell is saltier than the water inside, water will move from the inside of the cell to the outside. As
the water left the cell it was much like letting the air out of a balloon. As more and more of the
cells lost water, the slice of potato became soft and flexible.

Formative Assessment(s):
Explain: Allows the learner to construct an explanation (claim  evidence  reasoning). The
teacher provides information in common terms to increase the accuracy of the explanation.
Diffusion Lab http://www.biologycorner.com/worksheets/diffusionlab.htm
Diffusion Lab
Introduction: In this lab you will observe the diffusion of a substance across a semi permeable
membrane. Iodine is a known indicator for starch. An indicator is a substance that chances color
in the presence of the substance it indicates. Watch as your teacher demonstrates how iodine
changes in the presence of starch.
Prelab Observations: Describe what happened when iodine came into contact with starch.
Procedure:
1. Fill a plastic baggie with a teaspoon of corn starch and a half a cup of water tie bag. (This
may already have been done for you)
2. Fill a beaker halfway with water and add ten drops of iodine.
3. Place the baggie in the cup so that the cornstarch mixture is submerged in the iodine
water mixture.
4. Wait fifteen minutes and record your observations in the data table.
5. While you are waiting, answer the questions.
Questions:
1. Define diffusion.
2. Define osmosis
3. What is the main difference between osmosis and diffusion
4. Why is iodine called an indicator?
5. Molecules tend to move from areas of _______ concentration to areas of ______
concentration.
What is in the Bag?
We’re going to think about concentrations now, which substances are more or less concentrated
depends on which one has the most stuff in it.
1. Is the baggie or beaker more concentrated in starch?
2. Is the baggie or beaker more concentrated in iodine?
3. Iodine solution: is the baggie or the beaker hypertonic?
4. Starch solution: is the baggie or the beaker hypertonic?
5. Which one is hypotonic in relation to starch, baggie or beaker?
Make Some Predictions
1. If the baggie was permeable to starch, which way would the starch move, into the bag or out of
the bag? ________
2. If the baggie was permeable to iodine, which way would the iodine move, into or out of the
bag? _______
3. If the baggie was permeable to iodine, what color would you expect the solution in the baggie
to turn? _______ What about the solution in the beaker? ___________
4. If the baggie was permeable to starch, what color would you expect the solution in the baggie
to turn? ________ What about the solution in the beaker? _________
5. Make a prediction about what you think will happen:
Data Table
Starting Color
Color after 15 minutes
Solution in Beaker
Solution in Bag
Post Lab Analysis
1. Based on your observations, which substance moved, the iodine or the starch?
2. How did you determine this?
3. The plastic baggie was permeable to which substance?
4. Is the plastic baggie selectively permeable?
5. Sketch the cup and baggie in the space below. Use arrows to illustrate how diffusion occurred
in this lab.
6. What would happen if you did an experiment in which the iodine solution was placed in the
baggie, and the starch solution was in the beaker? Be detailed in your description.
7. Why is it not a good idea to store iodine in a plastic bag?
