BASIC LABORATORY TECHNIQUES

EXPERIMENT NO. 1

BASIC LABORATORY TECHNIQUES

OBJECTIVES

1. To use common laboratory apparatus in measuring mass, length, volume, temperature, and density
2. To compute the accuracy and the precision of a set of scientific measurements
3. To apply the concept of significant figures in reporting correctly scientific measurements

CONCLUSION

This experiment helped us how to use basic laboratory apparatus in measuring mass, length, volume, temperature and density. By the use of this measurements, we learned how to compute the accuracy and precision of the results and proper way in reporting in significant figures.

In performing this experiment number 1, Basic Laboratory Techniques, I conclude that in doing laboratory experiment, you are required to have a careful and keen observation plus proper and right laboratory techniques and operations to obtain correct results. Furthermore, using the correct formulas in computing accuracy and precision and reporting it on a right way by using the rules on scientific notation.
