Finding the Area and Density of Ten (10) Pieces of Paper

 

            
             My partner and I conducted a lab about finding the area and density of 10 different pieces of paper that are all unique in shape, mass, length, and width.
             Introduction.
             The purpose of this lab is to practice our ability to do ladders and measurements correctly and precisely. .
             Hypothesis.
             If the paper is smaller than the paper would be lighter and vice versa. This will all contribute to the area and density of the end result.
             Materials.
             Clear Westcott Ruler: 30 cm.
             OHAUS Scale Model E120 #1(grams).
             - 10 Pieces of Pink Paper.
             - 1 Metal Paperclip .
             - 1 Pen.
             - 2 Mechanical Pencil.
             - 3 Lined College Ruled Paper .
             Methods.
             1. How to Create the Table.
             *Remember to put in the units.
             2. How to Weight the Paper .
             You have to set the scale to zero when there is NO paper on the scale and be sure not to put weight on the table, it changes the results. Once set to zero then you can put your paper in the scale.
             Procedure.
             Get the materials all set in place then start drawing a data table on the lined paper that includes which paper(meaning what is the number on it), it's mass, length, and width. Then, person 1 measures 5 pieces of paper with the Westcott 30 cm ruler while the person 2 takes the other 5 pieces of paper and weighs them on the OHAUS Scale that is set to grams. Remember person 2, you have to write all the numbers represented on the scale even though it is a zero. Person 1 you have to measure the paper precisely and don't just assume try to get a decimal point. Then you exchange papers and do step 2 again but this time with different papers not the same ones. Once you both have finished collecting the data give each other your paper and write down your partners result. Its better to have your own documents so you can go back just in case. Then divide the work and start working on the areas and density to find your complete result.
             You then make a lab report about this and then you are finished.
