Environmental Science - Acidity lab

Posted: April 26, 2018

Type up your lab.  SEE ATTACHED for your evaluation rubric and guide to writing a lab.

1)       Title

         Statement of the Problem:

2)      Background Information:

3)      Hypothesis: if/then/because 

4)      Development (materials and procedures)

5)      Results:

  • Analyze your results and explain it to the world - be scientific explaining what you proved with your experiment
  • Ex.  The shell that was in lemon juice for 13 days with a pH of 5 experienced a change in weight of 12%.  It was also observed that the colour changed, 5 2mm holes were formed and the shell became very brittle breaking easily with slight hand pressure.

Conclusion:  THIS PART IS INDIVIDUAL - the rest of the lab can be in your groups - I want to see your thinking here!

  • Answer your intital question
  • Explain whether your hypothesis was correct
  • Explain any potential mistakes in this experiment (like evaporation)
  • How can this information be applied to the real world problem of the rise in ocean acidification?
  • What further research could be done in our lab and out on the oceans to learn more about this problem?
