Warmup
Re-Do Socrative. Login to Socrative and take the Sand/Soil pre-lab quiz again. This time you will take the quiz on your own. 

Draw Flowgram
Using your experimental design plan from "The How" you completed yesterday, draw a flowgram of what your lab procedure will be.

Write Procedures
Open your Sand/Soil Short Report Google Doc. Write step-by-step procedures in the "Procedures" section for the lab using your flowgram as a guide. Use the following guidelines from the rubric:

  • Procedural steps are numbered and easy to follow.
  • Procedures include materials and quantities used for each step in the experiment.


Lab Time!
Following your procedures, collect data on the heat capacity of sand and soil. Record observations in the "Observations" section of your Sand/Soil Short Report Google Doc. Use the following guidelines for your observations:

  • Observations are taken at each procedural step.
  • Observations include qualitative and quantitative data when applicable.
