__Length__- Measured with a ruler starting at the zero mark and avoided the parallax error. Learned that the SI unit for length is meters and converted all kinds of meters (mm, cm, m etc.) Also, we calculated volume and Surface area of prism using formulas. Finally we had to predict and measure the volume of our locker by measuring the depth, width, and height of the locker. __Volume__- Measure volume with a graduated cylinder knowing to measure at the bottom of the meniscus and that the SI unit for volume is liters.Then, we had to measure two liquids exactly at 50 ml, we predicted that it would measure to 100 ml, but it was only 97 ml. States of Matter notes __ ECM __ __ Energy __

We had trouble trying to get the car to go straight but eventually we got it. to find potential energy of car we measured

height of ramp which was 0.051 meters and the weight of the car was 0.41 n, and 0.0415 kg. so its potential energy is

0.02 j. temperature HANDS DON'T TELL TEMP. materials THE SENSE HEAT-TRANSFER OF ENERGY OF OBJECTS AT DIFFERENT TEMP. metal (felt coldest), cardboard (warm), plastic (warm), foam (warm), wood (warm), tile floor (cold) Temperatures metal (21.6), cardboard (20.6), plastic (21.6), foam (21.6), tile (19.2), wood (20.4) Temperature- is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in an object (thermal energy is the total KE of the particles but temperature is the average KE of particles) Thermal equilibrium is when there is no change in either objects of thermal energy __ Test subject Which tub of water is the warmest? __ Zac- Tub B Eddie- Tub B Luke- Tub B Josh- Tub B

Tub A was 21.6 degrees C Tub B was 20.8 degrees C tubs were of the same room temperature warm hand transferred energy to tub because it is warmer cold hand had energy transfer to it from the tub because the hand is cold

Lab Report

the final temp. was in between the temp. of the cold and hot water. the average temperature was always a little higher than the actual temperature to give an accurate lab we could have put a lid on the cup or poor faster so no energy will be lost

Chemical Families

My element is Uranium and my chemical family are actin-ides other families that i know of are alkali metals, transition metals, noble gases, Here is a link to my radioactivity research page [|Research]

I have two docs so i will create two links, both of which are notes for chemical reactions [|notes 1] [|notes 2]
