__**Length, Volume, and Mass Labs**__

__//Length Lab://__

In this lab, we used the formula for volume to find the volume of the rectangular prism. Next, we predicted the volume of our Milford locker, and we explained our reasoning. After that, we drew a diagram of a locker, and listed the materials needed. Finally, we measured the length, width, and height of the locker, and came up with our answer.

__//Volume Lab://__

In the volume lab, we learned to look at the bottom of the meniscus to find the volume of any liquid. We used the 100mL graduated cylinder to measure a blue liquid, while we used the 50 mL graduated cylinder to measure a yellow liquid. We combined both liquids into one cylinder, and recorded our observations. We listed discrepancies, and inferences. We next, explained how to find the volume of an object using water displacement. We used this process to calculate the volume of the metal prism, and compared the volume of the prism using water displacement, to using a ruler.

__// Mass Lab: //__

In this lab, we measured the mass of the empty cylinder, the mass of the cylinder and a blue liquid, and than we subtracted both masses to find the sum of the liquid alone. Next, we repeated what we did before, but with a yellow liquid. We found the mass of the yellow liquid. After that, we poured both liquids together, made observations, and compared the masses of the mixed liquids, with the masses of the separate liquids. Also, we made inferences and described how to measure a liquid or object's mass. Finally, we researched the "Law of Conservation" and explained how it supported this lab.

Hands do not measure temperature well.


 * Material || Feels || Coolest to warmest || Temperature(C) ||
 * metal || cold || 1 || 20.2 ||
 * wood || cooler/mild || 4 || 19.8 ||
 * foam || warm || 6 || 20.6 ||
 * tile || cool || 3 || 18.4 ||
 * plastic || cooler/mild || 5 || 20.4 ||
 * cardboard || cool || 2 || 19.2 ||

What is the definition of heat?

When energy flows out of your hand, you feel things as //cold.// When you touch something hot, the energy goes back into your cold hand. Plastic is an insulator, which means when you touch it, not much energy is going in or out of your hand.

The objects in the room are at thermal equilibrium with the air in the room.

 * Test Subject || Which tub is the warmest? ||
 * 1. Will || Tub B ||
 * 2. Zack || Tub B ||
 * 3. Alex || Tub B ||
 * 4. Shelby || Tub B ||

Tub A temperature: 20.2 degrees Celsius Tub B temperature: 20.0 degrees Celsius

I think that because the temperature of the water was hot so putting their hands in the tub transferred the energy from the water to their hands, making the water feel warmer.

Hot water: Cold water:

Energy went from the hot water into the hand Energy went from the hand into the water

//"feels hot" "feels cold"//

Heat always goes from a high temperature to a low temperature.

Because the hand & the water were different temperatures, energy flowed.


 * Heat:** the temperature of energy between two objects from high temperature to low temperature

Warm air goes from a high temperature to a low temperature. When there's less energy, air feels cold, when there's more energy, air feels warm.


 * Temperature:** the average kinetic energy of the particles in an object

 * __Chemical Families__**

My chemical element is Krypton and my chemical family is noble gases. Other chemical families that I've heard of are the carbon family, the boron family, and alkaline earth metals.

Both noble gases and halogens are nonmetals. The noble gases don't react with other elements. The noble gases family are non reactive nonmetals. Although, the halogen family all reacted with the potassium. The halogen family are very reactive nonmetals.
