Question

Purpose: To explore experimental design

Introduction: To establish a set of protocols for the design for activity reports will enhance our communication process. I will use the Circle Lab to model proper techniques for sharing information. The headings that have been used in most previous activities are as follows: Title, Purpose, Introduction, Materials, Procedure, Data, and Questions. In this activity we will also address the Conclusion. Your conclusion will have three parts. The first part is a restatement of the purpose, which answers the question, "Why did we do this activity?"

Answer 1

@Astrophysics

Answer 2

I feel the answer is circumference verses diameter is the reason of this experiment. Am I correct?

Answer 3

Well the purpose in lab reports is basically the objective, I'm not sure what your experiment really is, so I can't say, but that is for a graph, you just have to summarize the objective of the experiment, hope that helps!

Answer 4

Drawing and measuring circles

Answer 5

Yeah, you're on the right track, but you should mention what exactly you're looking for, that will answer your "why did we do this activity"

Answer 6

I feel it was diameter verses circumference were the variables

Answer 7

Well that very well could be but as I'm lacking the information I can't say exactly. For example the purpose of lets say millikan oil drop is this: the purpose of this experiment was to determine the total on an oil drop

Answer 8

This is the procedure Materials: metric ruler, meter stick, string, & objects with a circular surface (can of soup, bicycle tire, lids, drinking glass, etc.)

Procedure:

Assemble six (6) objects that have a circular surface. Carefully measure the diameter of the circular surface of each object. Measure the value to the nearest hundredth of a centimeter and record the value in Table 1.

To measure the circumference of each object, cut a long piece of string and wrap it around the circular surface of the object. Use the metric ruler or meter stick to measure the length of the string that corresponds to the circumference of the object. Since this method of measurement tends to increase error, measure to the nearest tenth of a centimeter. Record the value in Table 1.

Make a graph using the measured quantities circumference and diameter. Title your graph Circumference versus Diameter.

After completing the activity there will be a short answer assessment where you will answer questions and submit your conclusion.

Answer 9

So your purpose of the lab was to find pi

Answer 10

As that will be the slope of the graph, correct?

Answer 11

Yes
