Planning In this Sc-1 experiment, we are going to put potato chips into different concentrations of sucrose solution, contained in high-density polystyrene cups, to find out how the concentrations of solutions affect the uptake of water by plants. These are what we are given for this experiment: * Potato chips * 1x tray * Max. 15x plastic cups * Sucrose solution (1M) * Beakers, cylinders and syringes * Knives * Chip extruder These are the procedures of my experiment: 1. Cut chips into identical shapes; 2. Mark details onto my plastic cups; 3. Make solutions with different concentration of sucrose; 4. Weigh chips; 5. Place chips into the cups; 6. Take readings at set occasions; 7. Plot results onto a graph; 8. Draw conclusion. Background knowledge & Prediction This experiment will require some basic knowledge on osmosis - the movement of water molecules across a partially permeable membrane from a region of high water concentration to a region of low water concentration. As a prediction, using some knowledge based on...
