Module 9: Lab 9: Report Assignment - Energy Forms and Changes

Module 9: Lab 9: Report Assignment -Energy Forms and Changes- (worth 10 points maximum)

This assignment supports the following objectives:

• (CLO5) Record, graph, chart and interpret data obtained from experimentation.
• (CLO6) Use the scientific method to conduct and interpret basic laboratory experiments relevant to course content and to write concise and comprehensive laboratory reports.

Energy Basics (9.1)

• Define energy, distinguish types of energy, and describe the nature of energy changes that accompany chemical and physical changes (CLO1)
• Distinguish the related properties of heat, thermal energy, and temperature (CLO1)(CLO3)
• Define and distinguish specific heat and heat capacity, and describe the physical implications of both (CLO1)
• Perform calculations involving heat, specific heat, and temperature change (CLO2)

Lab Report Format:

TITLE: LAB 8 Report: Gas Laws

YOUR NAME:

ABSTRACT:

• What you did (Explain the Procedure that you followed)
• How you did it (Give the tool and/or "simulator URL" used)
• Why you did it (What was the purpose for doing this experiment)
• What you found (Discuss the quality of your data based on the size of percent error values if you have any and/or Discuss something that you figured out about how the values in your data change as you manipulate the simulator)

DATA/ANALYSIS: This is the Completed Experiment Handout (upload separately)

CONCLUSION: What did you learn, not what you did using the simulator (Explain a concept, skill, tool, or formula that you learned as a result of doing this experiment)
