Create-A-Table
If you haven't already, make a data table in Excel for your independent and dependent variables. Make sure to include:

• Statistics (if you have multiple trials)
• Average
• %RSD: Standard Deviation/Average x100

Finish Lab

1. Collect your lab measurements and record them in the Excel table you created.
2. Clean up from the lab. Test tubes in the glass disposal, beakers washed and put on the gray shelves.

Make Graphs

1. Review different types of graphs and when to use them on this website. 
2. Graph your data. Refer to the graphs you made on 1/11 to make sure you have all of the components of a good graph.

Complete Data/Observations and Results

2. Write a caption for your graph identifying and describing any patterns you see in the graph.
