SCIENCE EXPERIMENT OSMOSIS AND REVERSE OSMOSIS
What is Osmosis?
Osmosis is a naturally occurring phenomenon and one of the most important processes in nature. It is a process where a weaker saline solution will tend to migrate to a strong saline solution. Examples of osmosis are when plant roots absorb water from the soil and our kidneys absorb water from our blood.
What is Reverse Osmosis?
Reverse Osmosis is a technology that is used to remove a large majority of contaminants from water by pushing the water under pressure through a semi-permeable membrane.
We used gummy candies to demonstrate osmosis and the children had a wonderful time.
