Teaching Osmosis and Diffusion through Kidney Dialysis

Amanda Katherine Reasoner

Published September 2011

Tools for this Unit:

Summary:

Through the activities proposed above, students should gain a thorough understanding of osmosis and diffusion and how imperative these processes are to the health and well- being of organisms. In addition to teaching students cellular processes, this unit touches on some of the health issues that Americans are facing today, namely diabetes. What I hope that my students will take from this unit is not only an understanding of osmosis and diffusion, but also an appreciation for what their bodies do for them every day. It is my hope that this will encourage students to take better care of themselves and think about the long term consequences of unhealthy living.
