They must compose an intravenous fluid that does not cause the patient\'s red blood cells to expand or shrink. Using simulated cells, students explore osmosis with no, one, two, and many solutes. In the process of exploring the underlying molecular mechanisms of osmosis and osmotic pressure, students manipulate concentrations and conduct experiments to investigate what is meant by \"dynamic equilibrium\" and throughout the lab use quantitative reasoning to predict experimental outcomes. See our \x3ca href=\"/?q=publications\"\x3ePublications \x3c/a\x3e page to read how this lab successfully conquers misconceptions! One caveat: students who have trouble with ratios may need assistance.\r\n\r\n\x3c/span\x3e\x3cbr/\x3e\n\x3cbr/\x3e\n\x3cstrong\x3eKey Concepts\x3c/strong\x3e: Equilibrium; Osmosis; Overcoming common misconceptions\x3cbr/\x3e\n\x3cstrong\x3eCourses\x3c/strong\x3e: Intro Bio: Molecular; Intro Bio: Non-majors; Osmosis-Diffusion\x3cbr/\x3e\n          \x3cbr/\x3e\x3ca href=\"/search_result_details/brief/86\" class=\"node_brief\"\x3eRead less\x3c/a\x3e        \x3cbr/\x3e\x3ca href=\"/cart/add/86\"\x3e + Add to course collection\x3c/a\x3e  \x3c/span\x3e \x3c!-- description --\x3e\n" }
