In the early 1800s life in Ireland wasn’t easy‚ Irish citizens got by day to day by farming and relying on the potato. The potato was their main source of food and money. With out the potato the Irish would have nothing. No one was prepared for what was about to happen in 1845‚ the beginning of the Great Irish Potato Famine. The Irish Potato Famine was the worst tragedy in the history of Ireland. The outcome of the famine would result in hundreds of thousands dead‚ an failure of the economy

DIFFUSION REVIEW WORKSHEET 1. Define diffusion and what causes it to occur? The action of spreading the light from a light source evenly so as to reduce glare and harsh shadows. Diffusion is caused when entities are small and moving in molecules. They collide because they are moving at a random pace. The temperature causes diffusion. 2. Define the terms hypertonic‚ hypotonic‚ and isotonic solution. * Hypertonic: Having increased pressure or tone‚ in particular. * Hypotonic:

A summary of Diffusion of Innovations Les Robinson Fully revised and rewritten Jan 2009 Diffusion of Innovations seeks to explain how innovations are taken up in a population. An innovation is an idea‚ behaviour‚ or object that is perceived as new by its audience. Diffusion of Innovations offers three valuable insights into the process of social change: - What qualities make an innovation spread successfully. - The importance of peer-peer conversations and peer networks.

and Diffusion Lab Report Background Information: Diffusion involves the movement of solute particles across a selectively permeable membrane from higher to lower concentrations. A selectively permeable membrane allows only some thing to go through. Water and oxygen are examples of molecules that are able to go through the membrane by diffusion. The

1. Diffusion and Osmosis‚ June 4‚ 2013 2. Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to help give visual understanding of diffusion which is a solution of high concentration spontaneously (no energy required) moving to an area of low concentration. Also taking a look at osmosis‚ which is the movement of chemicals across the cell membrane. Osmosis requires some type of energy to be put in for this to happen. After these experiments we should have a better idea and visualization of how chemicals transfer

variables are the potato and onions. The dependent variable is the variable whose value is measured to determine the extent of the effect of another variable to it‚ as in an experiment. In osmosis lab‚ the dependent variable is the length of the potato. The controlled variables are the amount of water‚ amount of salt‚ and the size of the potato. If the potato is placed in a higher salt concentration‚ then the potato will decrease its size. We started the lab by cutting the potato core length (44
