useexperimental data to validate or rejecttheir hypotheses. In the assignment as Figure 1: Raw (R) and hardboiled (B) eggs after 24well, higher-level questions that hours of incubation in water (1), syrup (2) and energyelevate the critical thinking skills of drink (3).the students were given. For example,students were asked to explain why boiled and raw eggs behaved differently in transportingsolutions (Figure 1)? Answers should have reflected on the concepts of permeability and proteindenaturation at elevated temperatures. In their assignment too, students were asked to quantifythe diffusion across the cellular membrane as well as the ionic strength concentration of the innerenvironment of the egg using Fick’s law. Based on their
