Paul Scanlon 26/1/2002 BIOLOGY SCIENCE COURSEWORK: "An Investigation into the process of Osmosis." Situation: "A chip shop owner wants to pre-prepare chips and soak them overnight without affecting their size. He has noticed that their size after soaking depends on the concentration of the glucose solution they have been left in." Aim: Therefore, my aim in this investigation is to find out the exact glucose concentration of a potato to help solve this situation. By doing this I should be able to determine the concentration of the potatoes themselves. Planning: Before actually planning the experiment, I will do some research to find out about osmosis, and matters related to it, so that I can make my predictions. This would leave way for me to figure out a way to make this investigation fair and safe. Planning ahead would help me find out how to do what and when to do it, which in turn should lead me...
