Planning Before actually planning the experiment, I have done some research to find out about osmosis, and matters related to it, so that I can make predictions. And figure out a way to make this investigation fair and safe. Planning ahead would help me find out how to do what, when, which should lead me to good results I shall be experimenting with a baking potato, and will be using a range of different concentrations of glucose, and distilled water. By measuring the change in mass of the potatoes. I should also be able to find...
of free water molecules. This means that water particles will flow into the potato chip through the semi permeable membrane, which will increase the weight.

The speed that water flows into the potato cylinder will be determined by the concentration gradient between the potato cylinder and the water. If there is a high concentration of free water molecules in water and a low concentration of free molecules in the potato cylinder, then water will flow more quickly into the potato. From my preliminary work I guess that the concentration of sugar inside the potato is close to 1.5M.
