“Restate” to the Class A good way to know if you understand the material is to re-state it to someone else! In groups of 2, you will be given a topic to restate the class. Restate the most important thing from your topic. How do people use water? (seats 1 & 2) (seats 23 and 24) Water and Living Things (seats 3 and 4) (seats 25 and 26) Water on Earth (seats 5 and 6) (seats 27 and 28) Water’s unique structure (seats 7 and 8) Surface Tension (seats 9 and 10) Capillary Action (seats 11 and 12) Water, the Universal Solvent (seats 13 and 14) Changing State (seats 15 and 16) Why Ice Floats (seats 17 and 18) Specific Heat (seats 19 and 20) Water Evaporates/Clouds Form/Water Falls (seats 21 and 22)

The most important thing….

Make a connection between the topic and one of the following: Another idea from this class Your life The world I wonder what would happen if_______? My solution for the situation that I read about is to_________. (You can also discover if there is topic you wish to pursue in Science Extension !)

“P”SQ3R “HT-E-PA” E -Essay - Compose an essay that responds to or asks questions about the section, and articulate them in a formal essay. (5 paragraph- intro, 3 section body, conclusion.) (time depending and interest) PA- Project/Activity -design a project or activity (major or minor -time permitting and interest. See idea sheet.) These will be peer reviewed and shared. You will also meet with Ms. S to discuss learning, progress, and go over questions.

Project/Activity Ideas
Design and conduct your own experiment using the steps of the Scientific Method Problem solving experiments Technology experiments Application experiments Etc. Songs Pictures/Sketches/Poems/Screen Plays to help other students learn the material. Detailed models, diagrams, or bulletin boards on a topic of your study

When should I do PSQ3RHT-E-PA?
You may do this during class while the rest of the class is reading & working on SQ3R. You may start PSQ3RHT-E-PA at home (online textbook) and then finish in class. You may start and complete PSQ3RHT-E-PA at home and work on Enrichment in class. – use back computer for Enrichment work. Enrichment: Further research for essay or project/activity Creating your own topic that you would like to pursue. Partner enrichment work. Other ideas. You may also choose PSQ3RHT-E-PA for some sections but not others. You may also opt out of independent and silent R and R (to meet with Ms. S). You may also do Enrich sheet instead.

PSQ3RHT-E-PA Group Work
You will also have opportunities to work with other members who choose PSQ3RHT-E-PA for section work.

Who is interested?  The beauty of PSQ3R-HT-EPA is that you are never finished! (i.e.- you will never say “I’m finished. What do I do now?”) You will always keep learning, asking new questions, researching new ideas, writing more essays, and creating new projects! 

Title: Osmosis with a Potato Lab
Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to observe the process of osmosis with a potato that is submersed in distilled water, sugar and salt solutions for a period of time. Background Info: A Solution is a mixture of two or more substances blended homogenously. The substance in which other substances are dissolved is called as solvent and the substances which are dissolved are called as solutes. A solution can be present in any of three states: solid, liquid and gas form which is decided by the substances mixing in the solution along with the temperature and pressure conditions. There are different types of Solutions. In general solutions are categorized into: Hypertonic solution: A solution having higher concentration of solute Hypotonic solution: A solution which has lower concentration of solute Isotonic solution: These are two solutions having similar solute concentration Research: Define hypertonic, hypotonic, and isotonic solution. Hypothesis: Write 3 hypothesis statements relating to the following: 1. Osmosis with a potato that is submersed in distilled water: 2. Osmosis with a potato that is submersed in sugar water: 3. Osmosis with a potato that is submersed in salt water:

Copy Data Table & Title The effect of solution on potato flexibility.
Potato observation before solution Potato observation after solution Distilled Water Salt Solution Sugar Solution

Analysis and Conclusion
1. Did any of the potatoes change in their flexibility, and if so, which ones changed? Provide an explanation of why you think this happened. 3. Why do you think some of the potatoes stayed the same? 4. Which solution was hypertonic? Which solution was hypotonic. Which solution was isotonic. 5. If potato changed in flexibility, what process was responsible for this? 6. Make a sketch of your potato cylinder in the distilled water, salt water, and sugar water- and use arrows to show the direction of water movement across the potato cell membranes. 7. Which solution served as the control for this experiment & why? 8. In which solutions was their a greater solute concentration outside of the cells? 9. Why is it not good to drink salt water? What errors were made in the lab and how could they be prevented in the future? Conclusion: Write your concluding statement. Use the correct format.
