Intensive vs. extensive properties
Intensive
property: a physical
property that does NOT depend on
how much of a substance you have.
Ex: temperature, velocity, melting
point
Extensive
property: a property that
DOES depend on how much you have.
Ex: mass, length, volume

The phenomenon
In
1982, the density of pennies
changed.
+
Your challenge:
Determine, empirically, the
density of
pennies before and after 1982.
1. Write a materials list and procedure.
Include ALL your steps. Be thorough!
2. Carry out your procedure.
3. Record and organize data into a chart
and graphs. Describe your data in a
paragraph.
4. Analyze your data in a paragraph.
5. Make a conclusion summarizing your
data and answering questions.
+
Some details
How
can you determine the volume of
a penny?
Displacement
Calculate
the density of 2, 3, …10 pre1982 pennies, and 2, 3, …10 post-1982
pennies. Make a neat table and
graph.

Things to write in your notebook:
An
excellent materials list and procedure
Complete
data tables (title, headings, units,
calculations, NEATLY!)
Complete
graphs: mass vs. volume and
EITHER mass vs. density or volume vs.
density, with title, axis labels and units
A
written description of your data.
A
written analysis of your data
A
conclusion based on guiding questions.

Your homework
To
write a lab report.
First
Draft (neatly hand-written or
typed) due:
+
So, is
density intensive or extensive?
How do you know? Discuss your
graph, and what a graph of the other
type might look like.

table for pre- and post-1982 pennies
2
graphs: mass vs. volume AND either
Mass vs. density OR volume vs. density
With a sentence describing each graph.
You
can start an analysis and conclusion like
we practiced yesterday.

With your group:
Fix
your graphs. Draw a best-fit line.
Write
a one-paragraph analysis for
each graph. Describe BOTH lines
for each graph.
Trend
Shape of line
Outliers: points that are way off the
line.

Title
Your
lab report should be titled with a
title of your choosing.
It
should be relevant to the lab and
should not just be the same as the title
of a handout your teacher gave you.
Do
not have it on a separate title
page.
+
Background Information
Explain
any important concepts that
are central to understanding the
experiment.
In
paragraph form, define any
scientific terms necessary for
understanding the lab.
+
Objective (NO hypothesis)
Explain
what the purpose of the
experiment or what goals you have in
completing the lab. What do you
hope to accomplish?
(No
hypothesis)

Procedure
For
a lab where you have designed the
procedure, include a detailed and
complete account of every single step
you completed during the lab, including
how to make calculations. Be sure to
include proper names for pieces of
equipment!
If
you have followed a procedure given
by your teacher, write a summary of
what you did. Do not rewrite the given
procedure word for word.
+
Data and Results
Include
any charts, graphs, tables,
technical drawings, observations, or
diagrams in this section. Include a one
sentence caption for each.
Data
should be presented neatly, and
with the use of computer software when
possible.
If
any calculations were necessary
during this lab, include them here.
DO
NOT explain the data.
+
Analysis
Describe
any patterns or trends in the
data. Point out any relevant
characteristics and comparisons that
you see. Do not attempt to explain
them, simply note them.
Note
the existence of any data that
does not seem to fit the overall
patterns/trends.
+
Conclusions
Draw
conclusions from the patterns and
observations you noted in the analysis section.
Explain why the patterns you saw occurred.
Was
the experiment successful at completing
the objectives above? Explain why or why not.
Reflect
on your hypothesis. Was it correct?
Why or why not?
Was
there any significant error in your
experiment? Propose some possible sources of
error and explain how they might be improved.
Answer
questions (4) in lab handout in
paragraph form.
+
On a separate sheet of paper…
Write
the first draft of your lab report.
Work
on your own.
You may listen to music as long as I
can’t hear it.
Label
each section.
Be
careful to include EVERY part
listed in your lab report guide.
First
draft due: next Thursday, Oct. 22
