Five e Lesson Plan - Egg Osmosis

The five E lesson plan aims to teach students about cell transport through an inquiry activity involving eggs in solutions of varying concentrations. Students will hypothesize and observe how eggs respond in different sucrose solutions, then group to discuss their findings and determine if the solutions were hypotonic, hypertonic, or isotonic. Finally, students will graph all the class data to identify which eggs demonstrated each type of response across solutions. The goal is for students to understand how concentration affects water movement across cell membranes.

Five E Lesson Plan

Egg Osmosis- Cell Transport


Type of Lesson:
Inquiry and Challenged Activity
Learning Goal:
The students will be able to identify the permeability of the cell
membrane by recognizing if they are hypotonic, hypertonic, or
isotonic in solution.
Key Question:
What does the concentration of the solute tell us about water
movement?
Target TEKS:
112.34-4B: The student knows that cells are the basic structures
of all living things with specialized parts that perform specific functions
and that viruses are different from cells. The student is expected to:
(B) investigate and explain cellular processes, including homeostasis,
energy conversions, transport of molecules, and synthesis of new
molecules
Related TEKS:
112.35-2I: The student uses scientific methods to solve
investigative questions. The student is expected to: (I) communicate
valid conclusions supported by the data through methods such as lab
reports, labeled drawings, graphs, journals, summaries, oral reports,
and technology-based reports.
Teacher Notes:
Materials Needed:
o Handouts
o Eggs
o Plates
o 0-100% Sucrose Solutions
o Scale

o Cups

ENGAGE
As the students come into the classroom, they will be given
instructions to pick up all of the handouts at the front of the classroom.
After the instructor has put the students into groups and assigned
them to their lab stations, the students will begin by viewing a raw
egg. This is a hands-on activity that will get the students engaged in
comparing and contrasting the cell parts of a typical Eukaryotic Cell
and of an Egg Cell. This includes the inner and outer membrane,
albumen, yolk, air sac, and germinal spot.

EXPLORE
The instructor will put students into groups of two and assign them a
percent solution to be explored. Students will be asked to hypothesize
the effects on the egg cells when placed in the solution they were
assigned. The first activity goes over the permeability of the egg. The
students will be given eggs that have been sitting in vinegar over night
so they will no longer have the outer shell. They will place these eggs
in the percent solution assigned to collect data on the results. The
effects of the eggs will show either a hypotonic, hypertonic, or isotonic
response depending on the percent solution. The next class period, the
pair of two will form a larger group of 4 to discuss their findings.

EXPLAIN
During each activity the instructor will walk around to each lab station
and ask the students a series of questions to ensure the students
understand the concepts. The groups are established so that the
instructor isnt just lecturing to the students, but the students are
being able to learn from one another in a group setting. The instructor
will give guidance if needed and if any information is being presented
as being incorrect then the instructor will correct it as well. Once each
activity is complete the students will each receive a stamp on their
handouts to show completion and mastery of each activity.

ELABORATE
The students will work as a class to show their mastery of the concepts
previously presented in their assigned groups. This activity will consist
of the students thinking outside the box. They will be presented with all

of the classs information from each individual percent solution for 0 to


100. Each group was assigned a different percent solution that was
labeled on their tables that their data was collected from. Now the
students must graph all the data on a graph in order to determine
which eggs were hypotonic, hypertonic, and isotonic in the different
percent solutions.

EVALUATE
Students will constantly be assessed for understanding with teacher
evaluations by open-ended questioning throughout the class period
and series of activities. The instructor will also observe student
behaviors as they explore the presented material. The students will
also show their complete understanding after the class activity to
insure the students did understand the over all concepts of the
activities.
