Freddie Altman Biology Coursework Skill P- Planning In this coursework experiment I plan to find the rate of osmosis in different vegetables (Carrot, Potato, Swede, Parsnip and Sweet Potato). I will measure the mass before and after the experiment to use the results to calculate the rate of osmosis, and to find trends in the vegetables. To ensure the experiment is fair, I will control all the other variables (Temperature, size of chip at 5cm x 1cm, concentration of solution at 0.2M etc.). I will repeat the experiment, and obtain averages for the change in mass. This allows a more accurate analysis to be obtained. Finally I will keep all the vegetables in the solutions for 1 hour, and then repeat this. As there are no dangerous chemicals, or heating taking place, there is no need to wear protective eyewear or overalls. However I will be using scalpels and sharp instruments to cut...
