thLAB: Building Your Balance

CHEMISTRY: Pretty cool, huh?!? Do you understand now how a balance works? No one asked me in class about the actual mass of the coin – were you planning on looking that up on Google? That’s a great plan! Or you can bring the coin you were using to school and mass it on one of the balances.

A couple of other things about doing and writing up thLABs:

  • Yes – you ALWAYS do all the questions on labs.
  •  Always to the extension on thLABs if there is one, but if you are not sure, ASK!
  • The actual masses of the coins can be found on the Internet. Google it!!
  • Yes, you find your percent error on each coin – make sure you show your work with formula and units!!
  • Be sure and give yourself plenty of time to upload to the Google Drive Assignment Turn-In folder and Turnitin.com!

Holler if you have any other questions. Have fun with your lab!!
