 * We learned how to measure the volume of a prism . We also learned about one of the number one mistakes of measuring length and its called the parallax error. also, we learned about another mistake which is not starting on zero. So we must start at the zero mark to be accurate. **


 * In the mass lab we measured mass using a triple beam balance. We learned that we have t start at zero. We also measured the mass of cylinders.**


 * In the volume lab we were measuring volume using graduated cylinders. We had to make sure we measured at the bottom of the meniscus** and that the SI unit for volume is liters. Also, he measure was different from what we thought it would be.

Hands don't tell temperature they sense heat. Heat is the transfer of energy between objects that are different temperatures. Ex- Your hand and an object.

December 16 2013 Temperature- a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in an object.(Thermal energy is the total kinetic energy of the particles but temperature is the average kinetic energy of the particles.)

Thermal Equilibrium- When there is no change in either objects thermal energy.

Heat- Transfer of energy between objects that are at different particles.

 * The final temperature of the mixed water of hot and cold ended up as a temperature in the middle of the starting temperatures which were 80 and 6 degrees Celsius. The mixed water temperature was 41.8 degrees Celsius.**
 * The average temperature of the hot and cold water was always a little bit higher but not temperature. This is because there was no lid so energy went from the hot water into the air.**
