An Investigation Into The Factors Affecting Osmosis

Planning

My aim for this experiment is to see the results of potato tissue's mass difference, when placed in different concentrations of sugar solutions.

Variables involved:

For this experiment I would expect to have 3 different variables, Independent, Dependent, and fixed variables, which all helps me to plan and explain the experiment thoroughly.

The Independent variable (things you change), the thing that I will be changing in this investigation into the factors affecting osmosis, is the concentrations of the solution that helps me to investigate osmosis with potato tissues. The different sugar concentrations will be changed to see the result of the potatoes when placed in sugar solutions placed in different molarities (strengths).

Dependent Variable (things that you measure) the things that I'll be measuring in this experiment on osmosis is the mass change and length change of the potatoes placed in different molarities of sugar solutions. I will record the masses in...
