Curated OER
Soil Permeability & Texture
Students investigate types of soil to test their water permeability. They collect soil samples, make predictions, conduct the experiment, and answer conclusion questions.
Curated OER
Mystical Membrane
Students investigate osmosis, diffusion and a semi-permeable membrane. In this cell membrane lesson plan, students observe the movement of molecules out of a bag filled with sugar and starch into a beaker of water. They test the beaker...
Curated OER
Osmosis and Diffusion: Egg Lab
Learners examine why diffusion and osmosis happen in an egg cell. In this diffusion lesson students demonstrate a semi permeable membrane.
Curated OER
Where Does the Water Go?/Part 1: Permeability
Students determine how water holding capacity influences plant growth by observing different types of soils and their ability to hold water. They record their results on a soil permeability worksheet.
Curated OER
Diffusion Across a Selectively Permeable Membrane
Students investigate how water passes through cell membranes. In this biology lesson, students differentiate osmosis and diffusion. They illustrate the movement of water in both processes.
Curated OER
Groundwater
In this groundwater worksheet, students use 12 given terms and match them to their definitions related to characteristics of groundwater and the components of the ground where the water travels. Students also fill in 5 blanks with given...
Curated OER
Soil Testing
Earth science learners experiment with the water-holding properties of sand, pebbles, and clay. They apply their findings to the building of a well. This activity is engaging and tactile, and it demonstrates the importance of considering...

Structure and Function of Cell Membranes
Lead your high school class on an exploration inside the cell. Individuals investigate the relationships between cells structure and function given their relative locations on the cell membrane. They explore the concept of homeostasis...
Curated OER
Navvies/ Canals
Students investigate the concept of water permeability in order to help find the best material to line a canal. The goal is to find a material that does not allow water to escape. They also conduct an experiment and record the observations.
Curated OER
Water Systems
In this water systems learning exercise, high schoolers refer to their textbook to complete questions about the amount of water on earth and the portion of water in various forms. Students review porosity, permeability, and water table....
Curated OER
Particle Size and Oil Production
Students investigate how permeable different materials are. In this physics lesson, students determine what affects permeability and how permeability relates to oil production.
Curated OER
Diffusion
Learners describe and illustrate the process of diffusion in selelctively permeable cell membranes. They are asked to respond to what they think will happen when food coloring is dropped in a bowl of water. Other activities will be...
Curated OER
Cells: Living Units
In this cell worksheet, students answer 81 questions about the cell including multiple choice, fill in the blank, short answer and matching. Topics include cell structure, the cell membrane, the nucleus, cell growth and reproduction and...
Curated OER
Soil Permeability
Learners participate in a lab activity in which they examine the permeability of different soils. They examine the soil's composition and make predictions about the permeability of the soils. They share their observations to the class.
Curated OER
Water Quality
Students investigate the water cycle and evaporation. They study the porosity and permeability of groundwater, and the capillary action in soil in this unit.
Curated OER
Measuring Permeability of Soil, Sand and Gravel
Students investigate the different materials in their environment. In this geology lesson plan, students collaborate in groups to examine the differences in sand, soil and gravel. Students utilize a magnifying glass or microscope and...
