made:
 cut potato cylinders to
same mass / size
 use same volume of salt
solution
 same temperature
 leave for same length of
time
 dry cylinders before
weighing
 put cylinders into a range
of salt solution
concentrations
 measure mass / size at

 measure mass / size
after a day or few days
 repeats
 observe whether the
cylinders have increased
/ decreased or stayed
the same mass / size
 correct description of
direction of water
movement
 conclusion: salt solution
concentration in which
cylinder did not change
in mass / size is same
concentration as in cells
