POTATO OSMOSIS (LABORATORY EXPERIMENTATION)

MATERIALS:

Small basin
2 medium size potatoes (fresh)
Table salt
Sugar
Distilled water (Wilkins or H2Zero)

PROCEDURE:

A. POTATOES

Cut the potatoes to half, making 4 pcs of potatoes
Cook one of the half potatoes and set aside the 3 other potatoes
Label the cooked potato as letter

B. MAKING A CAVITY

- Make a cavity of each half potato
- Label the raw potato as A B and C
- In potato A place salt on the cavity
- In potato B place sugar in the cavity
- Leave the potato C empty.
- Place sugar on the cavity of potato D

C. POTATO OSMOSIS

- Place distilled water in the basin and arranged the potatoes inside the basin. Leave it for 1hr. Observe after an hour. Do not mind the color of the potato.
