Ample supplies given for big lab groups and a great way to introduce membrane transport through inquiry

By far this is one of my favorite AP lab kits! Ward's has done an excellent job of providing all the materials needed for all the lab activities associated with cell membrane transport (Big Idea 2). The teacher guide and the student handouts are easy to read. I especially like having the prepared cubes for the surface area to volume ratio instead of having to make my own and the pre-measured sugar packets for the osmosis activity, which can be very messy to do it yourself. These solutions can used to do a water potential extension activity. Once you've used the kit for the first time, you only need to order the refill kit. Very nice!

Phenolphthalein cubes worth it all! - For teachers like me who prefer kits because of the busy schedules we have during the school year, this is a complete one! The phenolphthalein cubes are ready to go and save much time when preparing to offer students opportunities to investigate surface area and size of cells. The cubes make this kit "good stuff"! This kit is worth considering for a diffusion and osmosis investigation. Alth

Fabulous fun learning - My students and I loved this. I had made my own blocks before but these were so much better. the students got the concept very quickly. Well done Wards....I will be ordering these again.

Ward's® AP Biology Investigation 4: Cell Processes: Diffusion and Osmosis
Educational Materials Biology Educational Materials AP Biology Learning Activities
Meets AP Science Practices 2, 4, and 5, and Big Idea 2.

  • Three separate activities to quantitatively measure osmosis and diffusion
  • Save time with well-prepared materials
  • Available for individual student use or class-size kit
Using two different models, students will simulate the movement of water and nutrients across a cell membrane and observe osmosis in living tissue, enabling a clear understanding of the properties of osmosis and diffusion and their role in maintaining homeostasis in the cell. As a result, students will be able to pose their own scientific questions about the selective permeability properties of cell membranes and provide explanation for how cell size and shape affect rates of diffusion. A refill kit is available and contains only consumable component items it does not contain additional student or teacher guides. Note: Due to regulatory issues, Elodea is not included in the new kit.

Individual student kit contains reduced quantities of materials to perform most activities, but on an individual student basis.

Ordering information: A coupon is included for redemption of perishable materials. Redeem by mail, phone, fax, or email. At times, supply may be limited due to high demand.  Please place your order approximately two weeks in advance.
