The slope, found by the rise over run of 4.5 over 4, tells the average density for the samples.

BEFORE CONDUCTING THE EXPERIMENT - You should already have submitted to your teacher an EXCELLENT Investigation Design that included:

Step 2: The volume of both tanks is equivalent to 84,780. You utilize the recipe, and module the numbers to get the answer.

Procedure: Using distilled water, premeasured containers and objects determine displacement of fluids and density of objects. Use ice and heat measure temperatures in Celsius, Fahrenheit and Kelvin.

Think about what you need to measure before you measure. i.e., I want to measure to see how long Charles’ body is

Abstract: This experiment introduced the student to lab techniques and measurements. It started with measuring length. An example of this would be the length of a nickel, which is 2cm. The next part of the experiment was measuring temperature. I found that water boils around 95ºC at 6600ft. Ice also has a significant effect on the temperature of water from the tap. Ice dropped the temperature about 15ºC. Volumetric measurements were the basis of the 3rd part of the experiment. It was displayed during this experiment that a pipet holds about 4mL and that there are approximately 27 drops/mL from a short stem pipet. Part 4 introduced the student to measuring

1. Objective: My objective for this experiment is to find the mass, volume, and density of a variety of objects. After this, I will record my data and place a select few of the items on a graph. My hypothesis for this experiment is, "If I measure the mass of every object, the wooden ball will have the least because it seems to be the smallest and most lightweight. " 2.

Seven various household objects were chosen to measure using a digital gram scale. Each object’s mass was estimated by lab students and recorded in data table 4. A quarter, ball point pen, rubber bulb, large paper clip, green crayon, house key and a copper penny masses were estimated and recorded in data table 4. Each object was placed on the scale individually and its actual measurement was recorded in data table 4. As we started estimating the household objects we were often not correct in our estimations. As we measured more and more objects, we got better in our estimations by comparing objects with known masses and comparing them with the unknown

For the second part of your assignment, you will apply the scientific method to a real-life situation. You will select a problem that leads to a testable question, similar to the scenarios presented in Part I and explain how you would follow each step of the scientific method to try and answer the question or solve the problem. Note: you are describing only what you would do at each step; you will not be conducting the experiment.

Throughout lab one we were introduced to many different forms of measurement, whether its using a ruler too measure length, a digital scale to measure weight, and also many different sized and shaped flasks to measure different volumes. Another key measurement of this lab was to teach the

The nucleus is composed of protons and neutrons. These two particle are called nucleons, and can be found in the nucleus. The protons are all positively charged and repel each other, this is called the electromagnetic force. This pushes the protons apart but they are held together by another outside force. This is called the strong nuclear force.

The overall purpose of the lab is to have the students practice designing an experiment, gathering data, and then analyzing that data to form a conclusion using the scientific method. It also served to understand key terms such as hypothesis, dependent variable, and independent variable. The specific objective of this lab is to determine whether certain human body parts experience allometric or isometric growth. Allometric growth defines when certain parts of an organism grow at unequal rates in comparison to its whole, while isometric growth is when all parts of an organism grow at the same rate in comparison to the entire organism. The specific purpose of the lab is to determine whether or not specific human body parts experience allometric or isometric growth by comparing the ratios of height to two specific body parts, in the students’ case the right hand length and head circumference, in students and newborns. The students formulated the tentative answer that if a team of four compared their height to right hand length ratio, as well as, their height to head circumference ratio, to those of a newborn’s, then the students will discover that the right hand and head experience allometric growth in humans.

They are given several minutes to explore. Students must find a desirable question to research and conduct the experiment based on their observations.

In the first part of the experiment, the fundamental quantities-length, mass and time were estimated simply by guessing. Even though it can be helpful sometimes to test a hypothesis, huge percentage errors in the measurements showed that human errors can be significant and therefore, we need more sophisticated techniques for more accurate measurement. For instance, using Vernier calipers is more precise than guessing the length or more accurate than the ruler.
