Liquid Volume Lab

Part I Data Collection

Objective: To identify the tool[s] associated with the calibrated system used to measure l iquid volume and to demonstrate
precision in collecting measurements using this tool[s] so as to obtain a specific series of six spectral colors.

Materials: [Take PB picture of]

6 test tubes
Test tube rack
Various beakers and graduated cylinders
[1] 600 mL empty beaker for waste and contaminated samples
[1] 400 mL beaker for water to rinse glassware when needed
red, blue, and yellow food coloring
[2] droppers
[1] Stirrer
[3] Cups for colors
[1] Sharpie
[6] pieces of tape
Paper towels for clean up

Computer Photo Booth or alternative recording device

Notes:

Be careful not to drop the test tubes or get ANY liquid near the computer.

Calibration for Colors

Red 40 drops per L=1000 ml-10 drops

Blue 20 drops per L=1000 ml- 5 drops
Yellow 32 drops per L=1000 ml- 8 drops

Procedure

Note: The label [#PB] means you have to provide a Photo Booth picture as evidence of using precision in measurement, by
selecting the correct graduated cylinder to use. The picture must be a high quality image that shows enough detail to identify
the selected tool. Each PB image needs to be inserted directly under the data table at the top in the placeholder section labeled
Precision in Measurement Evidence.

1. Using the tape and sharpie provided, label the six test tubes in order: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6, and place each one back into the test
tube holder.

Note: The test tubes should only be in the rack or in a group members hand at all times during the lab.

2. Fill the 400 mL beaker with 200 mL of water.

3. Place the 600 mL beaker to the side as it will be used for the contaminated water.

4. Measure 26 mL [#4PB] of RED liquid and pour it into the test tube labeled 1.

5. Measure 17.2 mL [#5PB] of YELLOW liquid and pour it into the test tube labeled 3.

6. Measure 21 mL of BLUE liquid and pour it into the test tube labeled 5.

7. From test tube 3, measure 4.3 mL [#7PB], and pour it into test tube 4.

8. From test tube 5, measure 7 mL, and pour it into test tube 4. Swirl the test tube.

9. From test tube 5, measure 4 mL, and pour it into test tube 6.

10. From test tube 1, measure 7 mL, and pour it into test tube 6. Swirl the test tube.

11. From test tube 1, measure 8 mL, and pour it into test tube 2.

12. From test tube 3, measure 3.5 mL, and pour it into test tube 2. Swirl the test tube.

13. Type in the final color for each test tube, 1 6, in each test tubes corresponding place in the groups data table.

14. Measure the final amount of liquid for each test tube, 1 6, and record the final amount in each test tubes corresponding
place in the groups data table.

15. Add up and record the final amount of total liquid in test tubes, 1-6 in the last section on the groups data table.

16. As a group hold up all of the test tubes, 1 - 6, in order, and take a group photo with all members included. The group photo
needs to be inserted directly under the Precision in Measurement Evidence at the top in the placeholder section labeled Group
Photo with Final Results.
