Finish filling out the accident reports below.
Type of Accident: Chemical Burn
Description: Ashley Allbright burned a hole in the right leg of her new
designer jeans. Fortunately, the skin underneath was only slightly
irritated. Ashley noticed the hole in math class when she felt her leg begin
to burn. Then she remembered she had spilled several drops of acid on her
leg in biology lab during the previous period. She had not mentioned this
to the biology teacher because she didnt think much about it at the
time.

Facts:
The scientific method helps us to solve problems.
Using the scientific method, the problem is identified, observations
are made, and a hypothesis is developed.
The hypothesis is tested by experimenting, observing results,
and recording them.
Conclusions are drawn based on results.
Investigate:
You will use the scientific method to solve this problem: Do flasks
A and B contain similar or different liquids?
Materials:
Caution: Wear eye goggles and wash your hands when you are finished with the
lab activities!
First Observations
1. Examine flasks A and B. Do not remove their stoppers, and do not
shake them.
2. Record, in the table on the following page, two or three similarities
or differences between the two flasks.

Experimenting
Experiment 1: What happens if you shake the liquids?
Hypothesis: _____________________________________________________
1. Give each flask one hard shake with your hand using an up-anddown motion. Make sure your thumb holds the stopper of the flask
so that you wont spill any of the liquid.
2. Immediately after shaking, observe each flask carefully.
22
3. Look for similarities and differences between the two flasks, and
record your observations in the table below.

4. After shaking the flasks, do you think they contain the same or
different liquids?
___________________________________________________________
5. If different, what was present that might have caused the change in
the liquid?
___________________________________________________________
Experiment 2: What happens if you remove some of the liquid in flask B
so that it has the same amount of space at the top as flask A?
Hypothesis: _____________________________________________________
6. Remove the stopper from flask B, and pour out half of the liquid
into a beaker. Make sure that the amount of liquid in flask B is equal
to the amount of liquid in flask A. Replace the stopper. Give each
flask one hard shake as you did before. Remember to hold the
stopper in place while shaking.
7. Observe each flask carefully.

15. After one shake, are the two liquids generally behaving in a
similar way? That is, is the time that passes before flasks A and B
return to their original condition about the same?
___________________________________________________________
16. After two and three shakes, are the liquids in flasks A and B
behaving in a similar way?
___________________________________________________________
17. Look at the data in the table Results of Experiment #3. Does flask A
show an increase or decrease in time needed to return to its original
condition as the number of shakes increases from one to three?
___________________________________________________________

Explain: ____________________________________________________

___________________________________________________________
4. Besides the liquid itself, what else seems to be needed for the liquid
to change color?
___________________________________________________________
26
3. Why did more shaking increase the amount of time needed for the
liquids in flasks A and B to change back to their original color?

Facts:
All scientific work requires careful and accurate measurement.
Matter can be measured in terms of length, volume, or weight.
Scientists use the metric system of measurement.
Investigate:
You will use metric units to measure the length of given objects,
volume of liquids, and mass of common objects.
Materials:
metric ruler
balance scale
graduated cylinder
water
various containers and objects
Use your metric ruler to determine the length of items in your classroom.
Write the correct measurement in centimeters on each line below. Remember
that a centimeter is about the width of your little finger!
