Lesson 01 Write up
Student Name: Nayeli Montenegro
Instructions:
The following questions are the same questions that you were to answer as you completed each section of Lesson 01 Laboratory. Therefore, place the answers (results) derived from conducting the experiments and completing the questions in Lesson 01 to the corresponding question list below on the write up form. (Note, since the questions are the same as those within the Laboratory Lesson the instruction used to complete each question within the Lesson also applies to following questions.) The number of points each question is worth is listed at the end of the question. Student may condense the write-up by removing unused lines or space but do not remove the questions. If you have to use a word processor other than word, save the write-up as a .pdf file (See Syllabus for more information)
NOTICE QUESTION NUMBER ONE (OBSERVATION) IS ALREADY ANSWERED FOR YOU JUST AS IT WAS IN THE UNIT SO AN ANSWER IS NOT REQUIRED.
A Process for Seeking Truth: Scientific Approach
1.
Observation:
Answer: You switch your flashlight on but it does not work. 2.
List your hypothesis for the observation. 2 Points
a. Explanation
- The batteries in the flashlight are dead. Which is important, the battery on a flashlight is the primary power source of mostly all flashlights. b. Test
- To test out if the batteries are the problem, just simply replace the old batteries with new ones. c. Prediction
- Most of the time the batteries are just old and will need to be replaced. It must be the problem on the
flashlight. d. Combine a. – c. into one statement as the Hypothesis.
- The flashlight does not turn on; we simply replace the batteries with a new pair. Which now replacing the batteries the flashlight will most likely work now.
3.
List and describe your Experimental Design used to test the hypothesis. (Be specific and include all parts of the design.) This is the instructions to the experiment and should contain materials, method, data, control and results. 3 Points
a. materials
-
Flashlight.
-
New batteries.
-
A replacement bulb just in case.
-
Screwdriver to open the flashlight. -
Possibly a replacement switch.
b. method
-
Make sure flashlight is turned off.
-
Get all materials needed together.
-
Open battery compartment with screwdriver if it's needed.
-
Remove the old, defected batteries.
-
Insert new batteries into the flashlight. -
Close the battery compartment. -
Turn the flashlight on.
-
Make sure the flashlight is showing light and working correctly. c. data
-
Record data on the flashlight. Rather it turned on with new batteries installed or if there may be
a different issue with the flashlight. d. control
-
Make sure the batteries are not the problem. If the old batteries are dead, then the new batteries should resolve the issue. If the flashlight still does not work, test the bulb or look for loose connections or faulty wiring.
e. results
-
If the flashlight works after replacing the batteries, then the old batteries were indeed dead.
4. List your Conclusion. 1 Point
- In conclusion, because of the batteries being dead there were a few issues with the flashlight. Once the batteries have been replaced flashlight works perfectly fine. 5
List the varible(s) in the experiment. Why are these designated a variable(s)? 2 Points
-
Been a lose bulb. (possibly been dropped a few times)
-
Defected wires. (water damaged could have caused defected wires)
-
Defected switch button. (possibly pressed in too hard or broken piece) 6.
List the Invariable(s) in the experiment. Why are these designated as invariable(s)? 2 Points
-
If there was completely damaged due to falls, water damage etc. The can be no changes done
at times. Part II: Data: Collecting; Processing; Presenting; Interpreting
Record and Process Data (Record each bean length in the groups raking them form shortest to longest.)
1.
List the data collected for the following groups. 1 Point
Group 1: bean name Coffee Beans
length of each bean -
1cm
-
2cm
-
2cm
Group 2: bean name: Jelly Beans length each of bean

A friend of yours went panning for gold last weekend and found a nugget
that appears to be gold. With your newfound scientific prowess, you set out
to determine if it is really gold. Your tests show that the nugget has a mass
of 7.6 g. Immersing the nugget in water raised the volume from 7.22 mL to
8.06 mL. The density of gold is 19.32 g/cm3. What will you tell your friend?

The Covid-19 pandemic has many experts commenting on the science associated with the virus - origins, vaccines, monoclonal antibodies, masks, social distancing. It is important to consider what the experts say, but to also evaluate their statements. We will start with the scientific method.
I want you to outline the scientific method from what you have been taught in previous classes. You can list steps, parts, process, short descriptions, whatever. If not taught in previous classes, then you will make your best guess about it.

In the following sub-questions, use your book and
notes to generate an argument for each model of light.
Remember, on the first day of class we discussed that
argumentation requires:
●
a claim (which I've given),
• evidence (which you should look up in the form of
data or scientific principles) and
reasoning that connects the evidence to the claim
(which you should generate from your
understanding so far).

What are replicates in Analytical Chemistry?
O The component of a sample that repeats over different assays.
Similar assays done to different samples
A sample that contains exactly the same amount of analytes than the original sample
similar samples that are analyzed at the same time and in the same way

Instructions You are required to produce a short lab report using the information given in the accompanying document, ‘Lab report assessment_student data’. This document introduces an experiment, and also provides a set of experimental data for this experiment. You are required to use this data to perform steps 8 and 9 of the procedure. This includes calculations of a particular value, and then comparison to the true value. Consider any experimental errors when comparing calculated values and true values. Your report should be between 300 and 500 words (including all table contents and titles of tables and graphs). Your lab report should consist of three sections only: • Experimental • Results and Discussion • Conclusion You do NOT need to include an introduction section. Your experimental section should be written in appropriate lab report format, (passive voice, 3 rd person, in paragraphs). Your results and discussion section should contain the data presented in table format, and…

There are two types of electric charge, positive and (1)_ Like
charges (2) ; unlike charges (3)_
There are three different
types of charging processes. Charging by (4)
is done by rubbing two
objects at the same time. Charging by (5)
is done without actual
contact to any other charged object. Charging by canduction involves the
contact of a charged object to a neutral object.

Explain your rationale for using the summative assessment (below) from the lesson plan on mixing substances in a 5th-grade classroom based on the below standard and learning objective, including how it aligns with the learning objective.
Summative Assessment
Summative:
Components of the Lab Report
Purpose: The student should clearly state the purpose of the experiment, which is to determine whether the mixing of two or more substances results in new substances.
Procedure: The student should describe the steps they took to conduct the experiment. This includes the substances they chose to mix and the safety equipment they used.
Observations: The student should record any observable changes that occurred when the substances were mixed. This could include a color change, the formation of a precipitate, or a change in temperature.
Conclusion: The student should state whether a new substance was formed based on their observations. They should also reflect on their accuracy in…

Calculations are based off of my data table. I'm not sure how to answer the questions.
1.Based on the results of your experiment, do you have hard or soft water? Does this match the data for your area? Briefly explain your answer.
2.How much calcium would you ingest by drinking one 8 oz glass of your tap water? Show all calculations.
3.What percentage of the recommended daily dose of calcium (1,150 mg/day) does 1.0 L of your water provide? Show all calculations.
4. A complexometric titration can also be used to determine the amount of calcium in milk. The calcium concentration in milk is typically 1,200 mg/L. How would you alter the procedure used in this experiment to determine milk’s calcium content?
