FREE SCIENCE LESSON - “FREE Osmosis Diffusion Lab - Effect of Concentration on the Rate of Diffusion”

by Amy Brown Science
8th - 12th Grade


No unit on cell structure and function is complete without comprehensive lessons on cellular transport. Students need a solid understanding of osmosis, diffusion, concentration gradients, solute concentrations, hypertonic and hypotonic solutions, active and passive transport, etc. This classic lab explores how the solute concentration gradient affects the rate of diffusion and osmosis. Students will quantitatively determine the rate of diffusion, graph the data, and use the graph to predict the answers to new questions.

This biology lab is perfect for biology or life science students in grades 8-12

PURPOSE: This experiment will explore the concentration gradient by measuring the rate of diffusion in a number of theoretical cells.

The objectives for this lab are:

  • To define concentration gradient
  • To explain experimental data concerning different concentration gradients
  • To complete a data table and prepare a graph to illustrate the data
  • To apply information from this experiment to other related problems.

MATERIALS: 6 pieces of dialysis tubing, sucrose solutions of varying concentrations, String, Balance, 6 beakers or plastic cups, Stopwatch

FREE LANGUAGE ARTS LESSON - “FREE Grow-a-Picture (Sight Word ‘Hangman’)”

by Brenda Tejeda
Pre-Kindergarten - 2nd Grade


This fun not-hanging-a-man version of hangman is easy to play on your interactive whiteboard! It's perfect for sight word review in 5 minutes. Also perfect for a sub!

It’s like hangman, but not. I never really liked the idea of drawing a hanging man, but maybe that’s just me.

In this version, kids get to draw a line to build a dot-to-dot picture if they guess a letter incorrectly. It’s a win-win-win (guess a letter correctly / get to draw the picture / incorporates math)! You simply project the game template onto your whiteboard to play. It’s the perfect way to review sight words in an engaging way, and in only 5 minutes (although I think your students will want to play longer)!

It's editable, so you can edit the lines for any word. Also included a student version to play during center time.
