  3. Scientists find things out by carrying out scientific enquiries.I am going to help you to carry out a scientific enquiry into osmosis.You will investigate how the concentration of glucose in the solution affects how far the water moves up the tube. But before you start some things to think about. Engage Cell ExpoOsmosis Enquiry 3

  4. What do I think will happen? What could I change? What are the key variables? What am I going to investigate? What will I change - my independent variable. Why do I think that? This is my hypothesis. Engage Cell ExpoOsmosis Enquiry 4

  5. How can I make my enquiry safe? How can I make sure my results are reliable? How will I measure my dependent variable? How can I change my independent variable? What will I need to keep the same - my control variables? And how can I do that? What equipment will I need? Engage Cell ExpoOsmosis Enquiry 5
