Inquiries in Science® Biology Series - Help your students understand hard-to-grasp science concepts. Using a learning cycle of engage, explore, explain, extend, and evaluate, each kit features lab activities designed to actively engage students in learning essential science concepts through guided inquiry. Topics addressed by the kits were organized and selected based on data from numerous sources, including the National Research Council's National Science Education Standards, AAAS's Project 2061 Science Benchmarks, NAEP's Science Framework, and state science education standards from across the US.

The Examining Cellular Transport Kit includes: Lab supplies plus a teacher’s manual with instructions Background information Reproducible student sheets Student questions Extension activities Suggestions for differentiated instruction Kit Refill replenishes all consumable materials; price includes shipping and handling.

Grades 9 - 12. Students explore the process of osmosis. Using a semipermeable model of the cell membrane, students first investigate the rate of osmosis. They then design their own experiment to compare the rate of osmosis between a common beverage and a cell containing a saline solution that is isotonic to human blood plasma.

• Differentiate between solution types
• View cellular transport using apparatus
• Replicate the effect of cells moving between various salinity levels

Part of the Inquiries in Science™ series. Materials are sufficient for 30 students working in groups.
