summary
The given lab experiment had two parts within it.. The purpose of this assignment was to help student make better prediction, to observed chemical reactions, to designing the experiment, and to make a claim from the results of the experiment. The two activities that will be completed are Activity A: Sink or Swim , and Activity B: Dissolving Chemicals in Water.

Claim
The first Activity was to determine the bouncy between two objects. To determine with of the two would sink or swim ( float). From the given information from the lab claim A stated that that the object with greater density then water will prove to sink thought the water reaching the bottom. While the object with the lightest density would float or stay more above the water line.
However the claim for active B was for a different approach. This active …show more content…

the comparison was first shown for the glass shaped stopper and plastic stopper was to obtain the weight of each item. The weight of the glass stopper was about (11.437 g) and the plastic stopper weighed (2.322 g), easily presenting which one has the greater possibility of sinking. However the claim was greater solidified thought the action of getting the density of the two objects.
Analysis of evidence
When doing the experiment we observed the plastic stopper floated with half of it object. While the glass stopper sunk to the bottom under a second. now to find the density of each object we used the density formula. which is by having mass divided by the volume. We also found the density of the water by getting the mass of just the becker and water within the beack. to be subtracted by each other getting the mass of the water it self. The mass fo the water was dived by the bolum (100 mL) causing the water density to be 0.92269
