Fresh Water vs. Sea Water A shipwrecked sailor is stranded on a small desert island with no fresh water to drink.

Fresh water vs. sea water She knows she could last without food for up to a month, but if she didn’t have water to drink she would be dead within a week.

Fresh Water vs. Sea water Hoping to postpone the inevitable, her thirst drove her to drink the salty seawater.

Fresh water vs. sea water She was dead in two days.

Fresh water vs. sea water Why do you think drinking seawater killed the sailor faster than not drinking any water at all?

Fresh water vs. sea water Today we explore the cause of the sailor’s death. We’ll prepare solutions of salt water to represent the sea, and we’ll cut up slices of potato to represent the sailor.

Fresh water vs. sea water Potatoes are made of cells, as is the sailor!

objective To determine the cause of the sailor’s death, we will determine the effects of salt water on slices of potato. Our assumption is that potato cells will behave like the sailor’s cells in her body. We will compare salt water to fresh water so we can see if there is any effect caused by the salt in the water. The fresh water acts as a control in this experiment.
