Configuration of Ob-Scertainer
Peter Peng HCC Chemistry 9/16/13 ObScertainer Lab Report Purpose: What is the configuration or design inside the closed container, known as an
ObScertainer?
Hypothesis: If there is a steel ball moving within each ObScertainer, then their paths will be changed due to walls and partitions within the ObScertainers, because the steel ball will encounter these obstacles, changing its path to move within the ObScertainer. Conclusion: When doing this experiment, I used my senses of touch and hearing to predict what the inside of the ObScertainers looked like. There were many methods used to achieve this goal. At first, I just moved the ball around the outer edges of the ObScertainer. This proved to be successful for my initial hypothesis, but as I did my retests, I tried a different method that got me a new picture. Instead of just rolling the ball around the outer path, I moved the ball north and south or east or west. This revealed new findings. There may have been walls or partitions in the middle, and not just jutting out from the sides. A prime example of this would be ObScertainer
#3. In my initial hypothesis, you can see I hypothesized that there were no obstacles inside of the
ObScertainer. When I performed a retest, I used my new method of moving the ball across, and not just around. I discovered a partition right in the middle of the ObScertainer. Had I not explored this new way of doing this, this piece of information would not have been recorded. I spent the most time on ObScertainer #12. This is because I found that it was empty. I had to be sure no obstacles were missed, like my hypothesis for #3. ObScertainers #3 and 12 were difficult and took longer time because of the partitions located in the middle of #3 and the emptiness of #12. Another
