What We Did Today
The "Egg-speriment Project" was assigned today. We will be learning about how a cell membrane works and the egg will be our model. Students will first dissolve the shell in vinegar to expose the membrane. Then, they will soak the egg is a variety of liquids and observe how the egg changes as it takes in or loses water through the membrane. Students will keep a daily record of their observations and measurements for 11 consecutive days. A report will follow the data collection. Students were given a written description of the activity as well as a data sheet and measuring tapes.
Homework
Look over the "Egg-speriment" with your parents and determine when you will start it. Remember, you need eleven consecutive days so if you are going away for break you will need to start it when you get back home. The tentative due date for the data collection and report is March 19th so plan accordingly.
Discussion Starters
