copper chloride lab

Proper scientific technique  requires careful observations to make conclusions. This past week we have been working with copper and chloride mixed together. Here the observations that we took.

  1. the first observation that we noticed was that the copper chloride was a solid
  2. next we established that it was a poison
  3. the color of It was green/blue
  4. it is dangerous to work with
  5. fragile
  6. soft
  7. clumpy
  8. once we poured it into the water it turned green
  9. as it spread out in the water it was grey/white
  10. It slowly dissolved
  11. top of the cup was green and so was the bottom
  12. middle was still whit/grey
  13. particles of the powder was floating around
Put the tinfoil in:
  1. the tinfoil turns black
  2. bubbles started to form
  3. tinfoil starts to dissolve
  4. the tinfoil then starts to fall apart
  5. water stays the same
  6. the tinfoil goes from black to dark red
  7. little parts of the tinfoil are still silver
  8. blackish/reddish pieces start to fall off
  9. the tinfoil rips in half
  10. fell completely apart
  11. once it fell apart it started to float
  12. the tinfoil is completely red now
  13. water changes color and is blueish/black
Sat over night- Next Day:
  1. liquid is pale blue
  2. looks like sand on bottom
  3. if you pick glass up and look at the bottom of it. it is dark purple/brown
  4. turns white when u mix it
  5. it was white and then turned blue when we added the acid
  6. bubbles started to shoot up
  7. started to sizzle
  8. red powdery ball at the bottom
  9. powder on sides is green
  10. everything seems to dissolve

oreo cookie lab

Oreo Cookie lab Brandon,Pentucket High school Lab conducted September,12 2013 Students measured the filling in three types of Oreo cookies to determine if filling amounts matched advertising. What we did in this lab was we measured the mass of Oreo cookies cream filling. Once me and my partners put the cream filling on the scale we were testing too see if the cream filling was really twice the amount of the original amount. The results that me and my partners got was the original stuffed cookie was 3.4 grams and the double stuffed cookie was 7.4 grams. Once me and my group got too the mega stuffed cookie we were already convinced that the advertisement was true, and the mega stuffed cookie ended up being 10.65 grams so the advertisement was true. Elements planets cars disney prezid original: 2.2-1 3.4 3.2 3.2 original/original=1 Double 5.2-2.3 7.2-2.1 6.8 6.34 original 5.2/5.2=2.36 stuffed Mega stuffed 8.25-3.7 10.65-3.1 9.5 9.74 original 8.25/2.2=3.75

gummy bear

Over this week we did alot of things that taught me how to do specific things in the lab. One thing that we did this week was we had to measure the mass and find the volume of a gummy bear. After we found the mass and volume of the gummy bear we were assigned to put the gummy bear into a glass of water so that the next day we could see if it had dissolved. i found that to be very interesting and also it taught me how to find that mass and the density of small objects. Another thing that we did this week was the do nows that we were assigned every day before class. The do nows helped me figure out the mass, density, and the volume. If it werent for the do nows that we have been doing all this week i dont think i would be able to figure out what to do in the lab when i was trying to measure the gummy bear and find the mass for the bowling ball.

Why we study science

 

Why We Study Science

 
The reason why I study science is because I need to take a science class in order to graduate from high school. Also I am excited to be working hands on in class with cool experiments. Another reason why we all study science is because we all need to learn about what goes on in the world. If you think about it everything you look at in the world has something to do with science so it is important that you take the class science. Science is also important because it helps you understand what goes on in the world.
