1. Purpose
2. Procedure ( Brief description in point form)
3. Data collection and Processing
a) Data collection
Trial Water volume ± uncert cm3 Balance reading ± uncert
Empty cup 0.00 3.045
1 + 10.00 13.128
2 + 10.00 23.205
3 + 10.00 …
Table 1: Successive masses of cup and 10.00cm3 of water
b) Data processing
• Show formulas and calculation ( Sample calculation if repetitive)
• Tabulate results
V water ± uncert cm3 Mass of 10.00 cm3 portion ± uncertg Deviation │m – X │ ± uncertg
10.00 … …
10.00
Table 2: ……………
• Calculate the mean deviation “d”
• Test the results for precision
• Test the results for possible rejection of a measurement. If any of the measurements should be rejected, prepare a new table of results excluding the rejected data.
