Core Competency – Diffusion Lab

#communicationcc –

For this lab, we worked in pairs in order to test the diffusion of starch, water, iodine, and glucose through a dialysis tube. Collaboration was very important for the success of this lab. This is because there were parts in the procedure that required two people to complete, such as tying the dialysis tube, and the two partner groups needed to collaborate and share their data. This was very helpful because we could talk about each question together to further understand the lab, and we could help each other when we got stuck. The collaboration and teamwork between the pairs helped to complete and understand the lab.

In the process of this lab, critical thinking was very important. For this lab it was necessary to analyze the evidence presented during the experiment to draw conclusions and understand what was happening in the lab. To do this we analyzed the difference between the start of the experiment and the end of the experiment. We specifically looked at the changes in mass, volume, and colour of the solute and solutions between the tube and the beaker. I used feedback to improve during this lab on my hypothesis. This helped me to correct my mistakes and improve for next time.
