Thursday

Today we were supposed to do an experiment on osmosis. But we learned that when you microwave a stalk of celery, you damage the cells so much that you cannot do the experiment on osmosis. It still was interesting. We also began the steps for another experiment on osmosis. We are using vinegar to remove the shell from and egg. Then, on Monday, each student will make an hypothesis on what will happen to an egg surrounded only by a membrane, one put in water, the other put in corn syrup which has less water in it.

We also talked about the cell cycle and watched a short video showing the different stages of body cell division, mitosis.
