Labs


Due Weds 10/26
Heat acquisition and retention lab

You will need to create a google spreadsheet with your temperature measurements. 
  • share the spreadsheet with your group members
  • each person needs to create a graph (put your name in the title of the graph)
  • share the spreadsheet with Mr. Streng
Each person needs to explain the results of their lab and what the difference between the sand and water was

how would this impact global climate?

Density Lab <-- click to answer questions
  1.  is there a relationship between mass and density?
  2.  is there a relationship betweeen volume and density?
  3. describe what density is in your own words.
  4. what is the density of water?
  5. what would it take for something to float?
  6. how can a steel aircraft carrier float?
create a graph to answer #1 & #2

Clover Lab Write up due Weds 9/7/2011
1) Write a paragraph describing the procedure of the lab. (what and how we did what we did)
2) why was it important that you randomly tossed your frisbee around the field, what could have happened to your data if you didn't randomly toss your frisbee
3) how could the term bias relate to your answer for question #2? why was it important for you not to know where the frisbee would land?
4) why does your total post-lab clover population estimate differ from the total class data estimate below?
5) why is the estimate below more accurate than yours, (not because Mr. Streng did it)
6) what would your population estimate be if you only tossed the frisbee once?
7) what does this tell you about the number of samples (tosses) in an experiment


Clover Lab class data







Yard line planetary modeling lab


In this lab you will be need to calculate where on a 100 yard football field where each planet would land. One goal line will be the sun and the opposite goal line will be pluto. Depending on the size of the class there will be 1-3 groups and after calculating out which yard line each planet will fall on with a partner you will get together with your group to confirm your answers. Then we will go out to the field and model your calculations.
