Cell Membrane Experimental Design

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Grandma said to gargle with salt water for a sore throat. Was she right? In the last part of the seven-part unit, lab groups design an experiment to test a cells reaction to salt solutions. The pupils conduct their experiment to answer questions connected to soothing a sore throat by gargling with salt water.
