Laboratory Report
Purpose
The group set out to investigate the type of relationship between the mass and volume of water
Equipment Used
Graduated cylinder, scale, cup, water,
Procedure
Take the mass of the cup, record. Measure 15 ml of water with a graduated cylinder and pour it into the cup.
Record mass of water + cup using a scale, then subtract the mass of the cup and record the mass of water.
Repeat experiment in increments of 15 ml at a time,( 15, 30,45…) not forgetting to subtract the mass of the cup
with each measurement.

Conclusion
After analyzing the data, it can be said that the data appears to be linear, with a gradient around 1/1. The
measurements could have been made with more caution, for example when pouring the water from one
container to the other, some of it could have been lost. The lack of calibration of the scale and our lack
of experience using it also could have contributed to the accuracy of the data
