Lab: Cell Size Part 2

 

Last class we completed the data collection and analysis pieces of the lab. The second part is to determine the rate of diffusion in the three cubes. (I have a few lab packets and will return them.)

 

How can you use the data you have and some math to predict the different speeds of diffusion.

 

·  Is it the same rate for all three cell models? Just a change in volume? OR  

·  Is there a different rate for all three models?

 

Create a display of your explanation on newsprint.

 

RATE = distance / time
