EXPERIMENT: MAKING OBSERVATIONS
In science success often depends on making good observations. Taking note of your surroundings is part of living in the everyday world, but true scientific observation is a skill that you must develop and practice. In this project, you will test your observation skills. You will also learn how to report your findings in a scientific report.
OBJECTIVES
Recognize a valid hypothesis.
Make valid observations.
Draw conclusions concerning what constitutes "good observations."
Write a scientific report.
In this laboratory exercise, you will choose one peanut from a bowlful and make "identifying observations" about the peanut. Then you will place the peanut back in the bowl and return later to try to find it again by using your observation skills.
Before you begin the investigation, you should reflect on the outcome. You have already learned how to write a good hypothesis. Try to identify which of the following would be a good hypothesis for this investigation.
I will identify the correct peanut.
If I make careful observations of a peanut, I will be able to identify the peanut at a later time.
Peanuts are so much alike that they cannot be separated by unique characteristics.
If you chose hypothesis 2, you are correct! Hypothesis 1 does not suggest any experimental design. Hypothesis 3 is not falsifiable. Although unlikely, it is possible that you could search through hundreds of identical peanuts and not be able to find one that is different in the sample. This doesn't mean there isn't a different one; it just means that you didn't find it.
Now, it's time to start the investigation!

Cryolite, na3alf6(s), an ore used in the production of aluminum, can be synthesized using aluminum oxide. start this question by first balance the chemical equation.1.) balance the equation: - alo3(s)+naoh(l)+hf(> na3alf6+h2o(g). 2.) if 17.5 kilograms of al2o3(s), 51.4 kilograms of naoh(l), and 51.4 kilograms of hf(g) react completely, how many kilograms of cryolite will be produced? 3.)which reactants will be in excess, (al2o3, naoh, or hf) 4.)what is the total mass of the excess reactants left over after the reaction is complete in kg?

Consider a culture medium on which only gram-positive organisms such as staphylococcus aureus colonies can grow due to an elevated nacl level. a yellow halo surrounds the growth, indicating the bacterium fermented a sugar in the medium, decreasing the ph as a result and changing the color of a ph indicator chemical. this type of medium would be referred to as a differential and enrichment culture.
