🥚 People & Programs: Exploring Osmosis in 8th Grade Science 💧
Students in Ms. Katy Halley and Ms. Hannah Geile’s 8th grade science classes at FMS took a hands-on approach to understanding osmosis with an engaging lab experiment!
🔬 Using an egg as a model for a cell membrane, students:
✅ Placed eggs in different liquids overnight to observe water movement
✅ Measured changes in mass to analyze how osmosis affects cells
✅ Used their observations to explain how cell membranes regulate water flow
This experiment brought textbook concepts to life, helping students visualize how cellular processes impact living organisms!
