SWBAT:

Explain how
the structure
of the cell
membrane
determines
permeability.

ENGAGE:
Quick
reconnect with
Soap Lab:
divide
students into
groups and
assign lab
sections to
each time.
They have to
discuss their
section with
their
teammates
and ask one of
them to

Thursday
Passive Transport

Friday
Osmosis Day

SWBAT:
Investigate and
explain cellular
processes
including
homeostasis,
energy
conversions,
transport of
molecules, and
synthesis of
new molecules

SWBAT:
Predict the
outcome of a cell
placed in a
hypertonic,
hypotonic or
isotonic solution.
Given solute and
solvent
concentrations,
use pictures,
diagrams,
descriptions and
lab data to
predict the
movement of
solute and water
across the cell
membrane.
ENGAGE:
Show a comic strip
about osmosis
Quick clicker review
with students

ENGAGE:
Ask students
which one
will travel
faster?
Perfume or
fart?

membrane
EXPLORE:
After a quick
review of the
soap lab, teach
students how to
set up the notefoldable step-by
-step.
EXPLAIN:
Explain the
difference
between a
passive transport
and an active
transport.
ELABORATE:
Direct students
to give example
between passive
and active
transport.

Friday
Osmosis Day

EXPLORE:
Drop food
coloring dye
into a beaker
fill with water.
Ask a student
to help timing
when the dye
is completely
diffuse
throughout
the entire
beaker.
Ask students
what is
happening?
Students
might respond
that the food
coloring has
evenly spread
out
throughout
the beaker
EXPLAIN:

EXPLORE:
Osmosis is a type of
diffusion-relate to
back what they
already know (the
food-coloring and
water)
The concept of
hypotonic, isotonic,
and hypertonic
EXPLAIN:
Use a U-tube
example to explain
the concept:
calculate the
percentage of pure
water on one-side
ELABORATE:
After students
understand the
concept of osmosis:
they work on the
Osmosis WS with
their teammates.

This is the
process of
diffusion.
Diffusion is
under the
cellar
transport of
passive
transport
Show
students the
web diagram
of cellular
transport
Explain to
students that
passive
transport is
like a slide:
does not
require
energy and it
is going from
high
concentration
to low
concentration.
ELABORATE:
After students
understand
the concept of
passive
transport:
explain the
