A La Carte Biology Labs: Passive Transport

In this A La Carte Biology Lab Class, you'll be exploring the cell's way of helping to maintain homeostasis by moving material without energy. You'll explore the different types of passive transport. You'll learn key vocabulary relating to homeostasis, diffusion, osmosis, and facilitated diffusion. We will model and practice osmolarity problems. By the end of the lesson learners will be able to show the movement of water from high to low concentration, and naming the extracellular solution is hypertonic, hypotonic, or isotonic solutions.  Learners will be able to identify the type of passive transport from diagrams and images as either diffusion, osmosis, Facilitated diffusion. Learners will be able to recognize and solve osmolarity problems by naming solutions as hypertonic, hypotonic, or isotonic solutions. By analyzing problem data, learners will be able to describe the effect on the cell when placed in particular solutions due to the movement of water and solutes. During this self paced class we will be conducting two experiments in this class, one with grapes and the other with an gummy bears. Learners will write hypotheses and collect data per lab.  Once your lab is complete , over several days. At the end of the lab, learners will draw conclusions and accept or reject your hypothesis based on data. 
Additionally, we will discuss communicating the results from your and using the results to form new hypotheses or predictions

I teach the lesson using Quizizz lessons where you'll be able to follow along and answer questions, or you'll have the option to practice the questions later.  This class is prerecorded and there is only one learner per class.


This is a lab lesson from my 18 week lab course.  My a la Carte lab lessons are meant for you to be able to trial or to pick and choose which ones you need to complement your studies.
