Regents Review- Diffusion, Osmosis, and Active Transport
AIM: How is the cell membrane "selectively permeable?" How do molecules move across the membrane? CLASS DAYS TIL REGENTS: 24 Today we talked about transport across the membrane. We also looked at the second part of the State Lab. Osmosis in an onion cell will be important to know for the June Regents. If an onion (plant) cell is placed in salt water, the cell membrane will shrivel as water moves out of the cell. The cell wall will STAY THE SAME. If an onion (plant) cell is placed in distilled water, water will move into the cell and the membrane will expand.

Final Project – Step 1 & 2
Step 1: It’s About Design Inventors spend many hours designing and creating new items or making innovative improvements to the design of items. In order to protect their ideas or “intellectual property” they may apply for a patent. The U.S. Patent Office has been granting inventors of ideas, devices, designs and processes an award called a patent. A patent will protect the inventor from anyone being able to make, sell or take their original ideas for 20 years. The protection guaranteed by the patent is included in the Constitution of the United States (Article 1, Section 8) and has been in place over 200 years. Help your students learn more about some inventors and their inventions, as they participate in some activities to help them … [Read more...]
