1. Title: Laboratory Techniques and Measurements

2. Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to learn laboratory techniques and to how to measure precisely. During this lab I will learn how to measure length, temperatures, volume, density, and mass using laboratory equipment. I will be using laboratory equipment to prepare dilutions and calculate them while using an algebraic formula.

3. Procedure: In order to perform this lab I needed the following materials: a metric ruler, table salt, small number of ice cubes, piece of string, flame source, rubbing alcohol, tap water, distilled water, paper, colored liquid drink, 100mL glass beaker, burner-fuel, burner-stand, 25 mL cylinder, 25mL volumetric …show more content…

6. Calculations (where applicable): My calculations that I conducted in this lab are detailed under my observation charts. I used the formula of M/V=D in order to find an objects density. I measured the density of water, rubbing alcohol, and a saturated salt solution. I measured the densities of irregular objects be finding the objects volume and mass and dividing the mass by the volume. This mathematics is detailed in my data/observation charts. (See data table 5 and 6)

7. Results: The results for this lab are detailed in my observation charts. I measured different objects lengths, temperatures, volumes, mass, and densities. I measure three different lengths in centimeters and millimeters. I measured the temperatures of hot water, boiling water, cold water, and iced water. I found the results of both of these extremely accurate. I measured the volume of a test tube, the number of drops in 1mL, and the volume of a pipet. I also found the density of water, rubbing alcohol, salt and a couple of irregular objects including a bolt and a magnet. When finding the density of the irregular objects I followed numerous methods, including the water displacement method, Archimedes’ method, and math calculation method. I was very careful throughout the lab in order to be accurate. My husband double checked my work and took photos of me doing the experiment.

8. Conclusions: This experiment was concerning the

BP measurement is vital, considering consistency of all nurses and equipments to minimise errors that may contribute to discrepancies in results which can affect clinical treatment decisions. It is recommended that all equipments should be maintained and calibrated regularly in accordance with (NICE 2011) guidelines. The environment should be suitable for BP measurement; if the room temperature is cold it may result in vasoconstriction….

Useful results can be obtained with three or four users; some data gathering techniques may need larger user sample sizes in order to minimize bias. Using the test material, realistic scenarios will be recorded, along with demonstrations and instructions. After the session, data may then be collected from the subjects using interviews….
