Measurement Lab
Purpose: The purpose of the Measurement Lab was to get used to measuring objects in beakers, scales, and other scientific measure devices. It also was helpful in refreshing our memories in how to use the metric system, and change units.
Procedure: In this lab, my partner and I went around to different tables where there were different beakers. We measured these beakers, or other measuring devices and recorded our results along with a picture in our journal. For a picture of my journal, look at the bottom of the page.
Observations: Here is the measurements my group got for each lab "station"
Station 1: 260ml
Station 2: 280ml
Station 3: 33ml
Station 4: 90ml
Station 5: 6ml
Station 6: 150ml
Station 7: 7ml
Station 8: 150ml
Station 9: 1230ml
Station 10: 20 degrees celsius
Station 11: 70 degrees fahrenheit
Station 12: .41m
Station 13: 4.5cm
Station 14: 1.4g
Station 15: .87g
Each station had a specific unit we had to measure it in. You can see that even though in station 12 and 13 we measure length, one of them we measure in meters and another we measured in centimeters. Some other units we used were milliliters"ml" (volume), degrees celsius and fahrenheit (temperature), meters and centimeter (distance), and grams (mass)
Conclusion: Even though there are many different ways a single person could measure something it is useful if as a whole, we stuck to one measure technique and system for precision of test measurements.
