Lab Day!

Today we did a Lab on the thickness of aluminum foil!!

I know it doesn't sound very interesting but it was actually pretty interesting how to do it!

• We took 3 almost square pieces of foil.
• We measured all for sides and came up with an average lengh and width of 1 piece of foil.
• We got to use a centigram balance to find the mass of each piece of foil

centigram balance ( ours were much older)

With this data we collected we had to use formulas for density, and volume






Volume = (length)(width)(height)

*height is our thickness that we were originally trying to find


Here is a video on how to find the thickness of aluminum foil using these formulas=

Next class we have a quiz on this lab!!
