<p>Good morning!</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I am working on writing everything into my lab notebook, and
I'm not completely sure what things we need. I know in class
you mentioned that its all on the report form, but the report
form has directions that it must be printed and turned in. The
procedure on the other hand has all the directions on how to
actually do the lab. Are we supposed to have both of these
things, or just one? </p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Thanks, </p>

<p>Great question -- first look over the lab procedures and the
report forms. Pay particular attention to items that you need
to record in lab -- like masses and volumes. On the report forms
you will also notice several items that you will need to calculate
and in some cases graph. You will do most of the calculating and
graphing outside of lab on the REPORT, not in the lab notebook.<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I recommend that for this first lab you record as much as you
think you are going to need to complete the lab correctly. I
would recommend that you go ahead and make charts that you can
fill in with the data that you need to record. For example, for
the first part of the lab dealing with the density of water, you
should record exactly 12 different measurements (4 volumes and 8
massings). Create that chart and give yourself instructions on
what should go in the different slots.<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Go ahead and make two more identical charts to record data from
two other groups. Be sure to include the names of the people in
those groups next to their data once you collect the data in lab.<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>For the density of an unknown metal lab you should have exactly
four massings and a place to write the unknown number. Label all
of these things in your lab notebook and record the data in the
appropriate location.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>You should also record the temperature of the lab.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Hope that helps.<br>
