Objectives:
Explain the role of cell membranes as a highly selective
barrier (diffusion, osmosis, and active transport). (B2.5h, Biology
HSCE)
Specific Activity Sequence Objectives:
Explain how substances move through water (i.e. food coloring; high
to low conc.)
The purpose of this activity is for students to being to learn about cell transport. Students up until
this point have learned about cells (plant and animal) and the major organelles it contains and
their functions; one of the main organelles being the cell membrane. Students will now learn of
the membranes unique structure and how it is responsible for passage of certain materials in and
out of the cell. Students will understand the main types of transport, osmosis and diffusion, and
the energy required to perform this type of transport, active of passive. Students will partake in a
DO NOW question which allows them to express their ideas about diffusion and how it works
and share with the class. Also, students will watch a demonstration of osmosis in work and be
asked a series of questions to help them understand the difference between concentrations (high
and low).
