RET Teaching Module 4: Osmotic internalization of cell dyes for microscope imaging
Authored by:
Aubrey Wachtel
Villa Grove High School,
Villa Grove, Illinois
Year in Program:
2014-2015
Designed For:
High School Students (grades 9-12)
Overview
Students will use tonicity, methylene blue, and fluorescein to develop an experiment around dying plant cells for viewing under a compound light microscope. The module includes variations on student guides that provide different levels of instructive guidance.
After completing this module, student should be able to:
- understand the properties of cell membrane transport using osmosis.
- identify basic cell structures using dyes.
- design an experimental procedure for improving cell dye uptake.
- create a laboratory report of their experiment.
- evaluate their own protocol to identify areas for improvement.
