Lab
Equipment
5 points |
Your facilitator will provide a "Bic" lighter and enough equipment to perform the lab.
(You are limited to this equipment.) |
5 |
|
|
Lab
Question
10 points |
What question is to be answered by this lab?
(You have a "hypothesis" and a Lab Key for "research".)
|
10 |
|
|
Experimental
Design
25 points |
Procedures clearly state what is to be done.
(There should be a reason for each procedure.) |
5 |
|
|
The data needed from each procedure is described.
(No data can be used in a calculation unless the procedure by which it was obtained is included!) |
20 |
|
|
Data
and
Observations
25 points |
"Data" obtained by each procedure are clearly recorded.
(Some procedures might not have observations) |
5 |
|
|
Data include proper units.
(All recorded data MUST have units.) |
10 |
|
|
If data units are "converted", those converions must be shown.
(Any unit conversions MUST be shown with dimensional analysis.) |
10 |
|
|
Calculations
and
Conclusion
30 points |
Calculations must begin with the data collected and progress through the steps leading to the final result.
(The final molecular mass of the fuel MUST be circled.) |
5 |
|
|
Each calculation step must be labeled.
(What does each calculation actually DO?) |
10 |
|
|
The LAST calculation allows you to identify the fuel.
(Was the hypothesis right or wrong?) |
10 |
|
|
Identify the one area of the lab most likely responsible for measurable experimental error.
(IT IS NOT A CALCULATION!) |
5 |
|
|
Lab
Drawing
5 points |
A diagram of the essential apparatus used in the lab is drawn in the largest white space on the lab report.
(Show the apparatus as the gas is being collected.) |
