Learning Activities preview for Gummy bear osmosis
Community-provided

Gummy bear osmosis

The “Gummy Bear Osmosis” activity is an exploratory, hands-on experiment designed for primary school students to understand the concepts of density and osmosis. By observing what happens to gummy bears placed in different solutions (pure water, saltwater, and sugar water), students learn how water moves across semi-permeable membranes and how density and solute concentration affect this process.

  • Protocol(s): Conductivity, Salinity
  • Grade Levels: Lower Primary: K-2, Middle: 6-8, Upper Primary: 3-5
  • Type of Activity: Data Exploration: Analyze & Chart

Learning Activities preview for H. Allometry

H. Allometry

Students measure their height, arm span, and foot length to show how living organism’s parts are related to the whole. Students use this concept to understand how circumference of trees can be used to estimate biomass.
        Enhancement Materials:        Allometry Example (xls)

Modeling Activities
Computer models (at varying levels of complexity) predict the change in biomass and carbon storage or size of carbon pools and fluxes over time, and give students the opportunity to use an important scientific tool.
