Field and lab investigations
• Science is a process
• We begin with a question, and seek an answer by investigating the natural world
• We use a variety of methods to investigate– Conduct experiments– Work of other scientists
• We use tools (lab equipment) to help us find the answers we seek

• Never eat or drink in the lab.• Remain alert at all times.• Keep your area free of clutter.• Follow both written and verbal directions.• Unauthorized experiments can be
dangerous.• Report any accident, incident, or hazard to
me immediately, even if you think it’s “no big deal.”
• Students may not work alone.• Remain at your workstation.
The world needs more

• Always wear goggles and other safety items.
• If you get any chemical in your eyes, immediately flush your eyes (including under your eyelids) with water at the eyewash station for at least 15 minutes. Notify your teacher.
• Secure all loose items.• Hair should be pulled back.• Contacts are not allowed. • Know where to find the safety equipment

Blood and Body Fluids Safety
• Wear gloves when someone is bleeding or vomiting
• Clean everything touched by blood or vomit with a disinfectant
• Remove your latex gloves by pulling them off inside out
• All materials used to clean up blood or other possible infectious materials should be disposed of in the proper biohazardous waste bag
• Standard Biohazardous waste bags are red with the biohazardous waste symbol on them. If one is not available, use a regular plastic garbage bag and attach biohazardous waste sticker to the bag
• Wash your hands thoroughly with a disinfectant when you are finished

• Never pipette by mouth.• Throw away broken or chipped glassware• Hot glass looks like cool glass.• Hot glass does not go in water.• Point test tubes away from people when heating them.• Always pour acid into water.• Touch electrical devices only with dry hands.• Smell a chemical by waving your hand over it and
letting the smell drift to your nose.• Don’t pour chemicals down the sink.• Never return unused chemicals to the original container.

Graduated cylinder
• To measure volume of liquids accurately to within about 1%.
• They are for general purpose use, but not for quantitative analysis. If greater accuracy is needed, use a pipette or volumetric flask.

The Meniscus—reading volume correctly
• When water is placed in a glass or plastic container the surface takes on a curved shape.
• This curve is known as a meniscus. Volumetric glassware is calibrated so that reading the bottom of the meniscus viewed at eye level gives accurate results.
• Viewing the meniscus at any other angle will give inaccurate results.

Reading Graphs and Making Calculations •Scientists must analyze graphs to understand an experiment’s result. •The Independent Variable on a graph is on the X-axis. •The Dependent variable is on the Y-axis.

Pie Graphs
• Pie graphs are used to show how a whole is broken up into its parts.
• Note that parts should add up to 100% when values are given
![Page 50: Field and lab investigations Science is a process We begin with a question, and seek an answer by investigating the natural world We use a variety of.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56649e8f5503460f94b92f93/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Bar Graphs
• Bar graphs are used to compare measurements taken from a number of objects or categories.
• They demonstrate trends in data
![Page 51: Field and lab investigations Science is a process We begin with a question, and seek an answer by investigating the natural world We use a variety of.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56649e8f5503460f94b92f93/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Line Graphs
• Most graphs show the relationship between two variables.
• The lines are usually drawn either straight or curved.
• These "smoothed" lines do not have to touch all the data points, but they should at least get close to most of them. They are called best-fit lines
![Page 52: Field and lab investigations Science is a process We begin with a question, and seek an answer by investigating the natural world We use a variety of.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56649e8f5503460f94b92f93/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Pictographs use symbols to represent numbers.
Always check keys and legends to accurately read units and labels on graphs.

Nutrition Labels• A U.S. government agency defines what
information must appear on a food label.• The meaning of terms such as “low fat” are
strictly defined for use on labels– If a label claims that the product is unsweetened
or that there is no sugar added, it means no common table sugar (sucrose) has been added.
– It does NOT mean there are no other sugars present
• Info is based on a single serving– Careful, single servings are sometimes chosen
so that the numbers “look good” at a glance check this when comparing two labels
– For example, an individual bag of chips may have three servings, rather than one
![Page 54: Field and lab investigations Science is a process We begin with a question, and seek an answer by investigating the natural world We use a variety of.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56649e8f5503460f94b92f93/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
•You may be asked to calculate a % from a label. •To find a %, divide the # of items you have by the total #, then multiply by 100.
![Page 55: Field and lab investigations Science is a process We begin with a question, and seek an answer by investigating the natural world We use a variety of.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56649e8f5503460f94b92f93/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Analyzing Product Ads (consumer info)
• Every day, companies try to sell you their products. • Television commercials and newspaper and magazine
ads tell you why certain products are best. • You must use your critical-thinking and problem-
solving skills to decide for yourself if the ads are correct.– Remember—their motive is $$$ so they may
“shade” the truth to convince you; you have to outsmart them!

Feel Better Fast with Vitaplex!--Really?
• The word “scientific” is to make you believe this is factual• It’s true that your body needs protein to survive and that your body
converts protein into amino acids• It is NOT true that excess protein will not be converted into fat• Vitamins are essential to good health, but they do not provide
energy• Excess vitamins are excreted or stored in the fat (too much stored in
fat can make you ill)• So, will Vitaplex give you energy and make you feel better?
