Chemistry learning how to use the equipment

Students are measuring the mass and volume of a metal.  Then they calculated the density of their metal by dividing mass by volume.  They also compared their value with the true value by calculating their experimental error.  A value less than a 20% error is acceptable for high school.  Students also found the density of water by measuring the mass of 50 mL of water and again dividing mass by volume.  Data collection goes right into their computers and they put their finished lab reports in the drop box on schoology.
