Abstract

This laboratory exercise is suitable for introductory level majors biology course. The set-up is quite simple and can be done ahead of time. The exercise as presented does not take a full 3-hour lab period. We have done a variety of different related activities such as measurement of heat loss from hot water in different sized beakers (be sure to heat the beakers with hot water then add more fresh hot water). Bob Kosinki’s lab on Osmosis presented earlier in this volume would also be a good complement to this laboratory exercise.
