Data processing:
Assume that the temperature of the water is T ℃; The pressure of the air in the tube is P Pa; the volume of the air column in the tube is V m, the molarity of the air is n.

The error of volume is given by ((2×uncertainty of diameter /diameter)+uncertainty of length/length)×volume.

Conclusion:
As shown in the diagram, there is linear proportional relationship between temperature and volume. When the temperature reaches absolute 0, the volume will be -1.2006cm^3. Evaluation and improvement:
Because of the equipment is not perfect, air in the container will go out and therefore it will cause a systematic error. Due to this situation, there will be a fall in the number of air molecules so that n will be different. To deal with this situation, better made equipment is necessary to minimize systematic error.

When taking the readings of measurement, random error always exists. For example, when taking the reading on the ruler, there will be deviation between the eye level and the scale on the ruler. Additionally, when taking the readings, there will be some increase during that time which can make the reading not so accurate. To limit the systematic error, do the experiment several times and take the average value to be the final value because average value can decrease the uncertainty and error.

    Class average for a 80 and 120 drop count was recorded to be 0.041+/- 0.005 mL/drop. If a graduated cylinder is not available there is another way of adding more of the solution. The disposable pipet can transfer 0.5mL of the solution to the chemical reaction. When comparing a 10mL graduated cylinder, a 100mL beaker, and a 50mL graduated cylinder, the most precision peace of glass wear would be the 10 mL graduated cylinder with the true volume of water (calculated), class average, and uncertainties being 9.7896 +/- 0.05mL. The 50mL graduated cylinder comes in second place with a true volume of water(calculated), class average, and uncertainties being 50.0001 +/- 0.22mL. The third peace of glassware coming in as the least accurate would be the 100 mL beaker with a true volume of water(calculated), class average, and uncertainties being 59.9999 +/- 0.82mL.…

    Using the buret to read the volume of water is a source of random error because it is marked to the nearest 0.1mL. Therefore, our data could be above or below the actual volume of water in the buret because we took our reading to the nearest 0.01mL, which increases our uncertainty level. Along with taking our volume readings to the nearest 0.01mL, a random error also arose when we took the reading of the temperature of the water. The thermometer only read to the nearest tens places, therefore our readings went to only the tenths place which could have been measured inaccurately giving rise to more uncertainty and random error within the lab. We were able to limit our uncertainty level when taking the masses of the beaker with and without water, by using the analytical balances which read to the nearest ±0.0001g.…

    Abstract: How does the physical makeup and size of an organism relate to various activities an organism perform is a topic many people curious about. We wanted to find out if there was any relationship between the body size of woodlice and their speed. We hypothesized that the bigger woodlice have higher speed than smaller woodlice. We conducted an in-class experiment to test our hypothesis. We took ten woodlice and divided them into two groups: smaller and bigger woodlice. Each woodlouse was then let to run for 10 cm and time taken to reach the destination was recorded. Finally, when all woodlice completed running, we conducted a t-test. The value of ‘P’ from our test was 0.8956 which is larger than 5% level of significance. Since our value of P was larger than the 5% level of significance, we rejected our hypothesis and accepted the null hypothesis. The null hypothesis was that there is no relationship between the body size of woodlice and their speed. The findings from this experiment can be useful in determining and studying relationship between physical size and activities performed by many animals,…
