Investigating the Effects of Sugar Solutions on the Mass of Plant Material through Osmosis Experiment

The video tutorial explores an experiment to study the effects of sugar solution concentrations on potato mass through osmosis. It defines osmosis, formulates a hypothesis, and outlines the experimental procedure, including the use of a cork borer to prepare potato cylinders. The video explains the independent, dependent, and control variables, and describes two methods for analyzing results: calculating water uptake rate and percentage mass change. It concludes by interpreting the results, showing that the potato gains or loses mass based on the sugar concentration, supporting the hypothesis.
