Exploring the Law of Conservation of Mass Sami S. Wright **Introduction** The concept of the conservation of mass was first “developed by Antione Lavoisier” (Plourde 46). Lavoisier concluded that matter cannot be created or destroyed only changed. For example: if an ice cube melts it will change states of matter fr...
Using Time and Displacement to Calculate the Velocity of a Ball Rolling Down a 41.8 cm Board Sami S. Wright **Introduction** Calculating an object’s average velocity is important because it is applicable to real-life situations, such as how fast a car is going over a period of time. In this experiment, the amount o...

There are several ways to write a lab report, and depending on your class or your instructor, the requirements will vary. But this guide, created by Sherri Seligson, author of Apologia’s[_‚ Exploring Creation with Marine Biology_][1]‚ and _Internship for High School Credit_, has been developed to help you understand th...
**There are two main types of lab report assignments in the General Science 3rd edition course:** **1. Lab Report Forms:** When you see this term, it refers to the fill-in-the-blank forms provided in the Student Notebook for every experiment. See the What to Do sections on pages 26 and 27 for experiments 1.1 and 1.2,...

**Atwood’s Machine Demonstrates Newton’s Second Law** Sami S. Wright **Abstract** Everyone is affected by the laws of physics. Everywhere people go they accelerate, decelerate, sway, and fall. These forces are described by Newton’s Second Law which tells how objects respond to force with acceleration. In this exper...
Yes. The experiments come in three types: microscope labs, dissection labs, and household labs. Household labs use only common household equipment. The microscope labs; however, require a [microscope and several prepared and blank slides,][1] while the dissection labs require an additional [dissection set and specimens...
