What was the purpose of the lab?

• What was the purpose of the lab? To measure a quantity, verify a theory, etc.? There may be more than one purpose to an experiment.

• Discuss quantitatively the main result of the lab. Was the quantity measured accurately and/or precisely? Was the theory proved or disproved? Cite specific values, from the results, to numerically justify your answers to these questions.

• Identify at least one source of error in the experiment. Qualitatively describe how this error affected or might affect the raw data and the final results. Do not use “human error” as your source of error.

• What improvement or change would you make for this experiment to increase its accuracy and/or precision?
