Why Do Giant Antarctic Sea Spiders Care About Ratios?

This lesson focuses on the diffusion of gas molecules across the cuticle membrane of sea spider legs and the role body size plays in the ability of sea spiders to uptake gases. Students construct model sea spider legs of varying diameters and use them to investigate the relationship between surface area-to-volume ratios and diffusion.

Overview

Molecules are in constant motion
