Student Name: Aitor Aguado
Access Code (located on the lid of your lab kit): RP-00000088280
Pre-Lab Questions:
1. Which of the following are testable using scientific experimentation?
a.
Are there more seeds in a medium sized Red Delicious Apple or a medium size
Green
Granny Smith Apple? Yes
b. Why do people smoke cigarettes? Nicotine is the really drug in tobacco. Nicotine
is a medication that influences many pieces of your body, including your mind.
Over the long haul, your organic and cerebrum become accustomed to getting
nicotine in them. Nicotine arrives at your mind and makes the cerebrum
discharge adrenaline.
c.
What happens to your blood glucose level if you do not eat lunch? Glucose comes
from
the food you eat. Thusly, if you don't have lunch, your blood glucose level
will diminish, albeit not certainly.
d. Which planet is the most interesting one to study? I think it's Saturn with great
rings. It's the second largest planet and there's a lot to investigate. It has 62
moons that make it special compared to other planets.
e.
Which objects are attracted by a magnet: a metal paperclip, copper penny, or
aluminum
foil? Magnets are simply drawn to exceptional metals. Iron, cobalt and
nickel are attractive. Metals that have iron in them draw in magnets well. Steel is
one. Metals like metal, copper, zinc and aluminum are not drawn to magnets.
Thus, copper penny and aluminum foil are not right. Might be the metal
paperclip if its comprised of attractive material

Lab 2 The Scientific Method CHEM101L

  1. For each of the following questions, write a reasonable hypothesis using the “If (independent variable), then (dependent variable)” format. a. Does water affect the growth of a plant? If water influences the development of a plant then the plant ought to develop more subsequent to watering it. b. Does temperature affect the amount of sugar that dissolves into tea? If temperature influences the measure of sugar that breaks up into tea then at the point when tea is colder sugar takes more time to completely vanish and disintegrate Click here to enter text.. c. Does the volume of a container affect how quickly water will evaporate from it? If yes, the larger container the quicker water will evaporate from it then if a container is smaller water will evaporate but at a slower rate.

Experiment 1: Testable Observations

Determine which of the following observations are testable. For those that are testable, answer the following: Determine if the observation is qualitative or quantitative. Write a hypothesis and null hypothesis. What would be your experimental approach? What are the dependent and independent variables? What are your controls - both positive and negative? Observations

  1. For the past two days, the clouds have come out at 3 pm, and it has started raining at 3:15 pm. Testable?- Yes Hypothesis- in the event that the clouds get out at 3pm the it will rain at 3: Null Hypothesis- there is no importance between the opportunity the mists get out and downpour Experimental Approach- notice and record every day what opportunity the mists come out and on the off chance that what amount of time it requires to star pouring Dependent Variable- how long after the clouds come out does it take to begin raining Independent Variable- time when clouds come out Control(s)- area of where you are noticing
  2. George did not sleep at all the night following the start of daylight savings. Testable?- Yes Hypothesis- Sunshine saving influences how much rest George will get Null Hypothesis- Daylight saving has no impact on George’s ability to sleep Experimental Approach- Sunlight saving no affects George's capacity to rest Dependent Variable- The amount of time George sleeps during daylight savings time. Independent Variable- Day and time that he sleeps Control(s)- George´s average sleep time

Table 3: Number of Drops of Water that Fit on a Penny

Trial Predicted # of Drops Actual # of Drops % Error 1^16 30 -46.6% 2^20 32 -33.3% 3 25 18 38.8% 4 31 10 210% 5 44 43 2.32% Average 27.2 26.6^ 2.25%

Post-Lab Questions

  1. Why did you perform more than one trial? Helps make information more solid
  2. What are the benefits of repeated trials? Since information will in general shift and more rehashes carries the normal nearer to get the
