Penny Lab

 

 

This attachment is a lab that I conducted in Physical Science.  It was a lab questioning the amount of pennies in a given envelope.  There were many ways to figure this out.  We had to weigh a certain amount of pennies, an empty envelope, and the given envelope with the given amount of pennies.  The basis of the activity was to find the mass of a single penny, and use the data to find the amount of pennies in the envelope.

This taught me...

This assignment taught me how to write an official lab report.  I went through the effort of actually conducting the lab, adding and collecting data, and making my calculations.  I then took all of this and wrote it up neatly into a lab report.  This is something that was brand new to me, so I enjoyed learning what to do and what not to do when conducting and lab ans writing a lab report.
