Engineering & Design 2 sessions, ~90 min total Answer key
Grade 11 Lab / experiment
A grade 11 lab where students track osmosis into dialysis tubing holding 20% and 40% sucrose, estimate osmotic pressure, and weigh reverse-osmosis trade-offs.
Engineering & Design 75 min Answer key
Grade 6 Lab / experiment
