Osmosis
This lesson is designed to exemplify a model-based inquiry approach to practical work in which students make, use and evaluate models for osmosis.
Osmosis is an important process which allows plants to take up water. A model can be used to help explain how this process works, and to make predictions. In this lesson students make and use a 3-D model for osmosis and evaluate the 3-D model compared to a more familiar 2-D model for osmosis.
