Prediction
Osmosis is defined as 'the movement of water molecules from an area of high water concentration to an area of low water concentration, across a semi-permeable membrane' (Collins, 1999).

improve the accuracy further.
Although 3 repetitions of each concentration are sufficient, there was a possible anomalous result (circled on graph). This part of the investigation would need to be repeated.
Further work could be carried out to include concentrations that increased in 0.1 M rather than 0.2. This would increase the accuracy and improve the graph. Other investigations could include using different varieties of potato or different plant tissues e.g. carrot.
