Osmosis and leadership: can they go together?

We have begun the new nine weeks with many hands on projects. We have looked through microscopes, drawn plate drawing s of onion cells and cheek cells. We learned potatoes don't let salt and sugar disappear into the potato(e)s but sugar and salt draw water out of the potato(e)s.
The students have been given another Gizmo. This is two so far this nine weeks. They are cells and Osmosis. The students did very well on their county science test. The next test will be Cell Theory for the county and for me also. I hope to have the test next week so we can move into body systems. There will be a letter coming home about discussing the Reproductive system.

Here is the table of Contents so far for this nine weeks.

1/25-1/26-microscopes p 6-7
