CHEM 1110 MIDTERM ASSIGNMENT
For your lab midterm you are to design an experiment. This experiment should be something basic, apply to your everyday life, and be easily followed by anyone wanting to duplicate the experiment. If you utilize websites or previous scientific literature to design your experiment or get price quotes, reference them on the last page of your assignment. Organize the assignment using the following headings to organize the paper. Each supporting question should be answered but doesn’t have to be re-stated. Your assignment needs to contain the following:
- • Research Question (10 points)
- • Hypothesis (10 Points)
- • Experimental Design
- • What are your controls? (5 Points)
- • What is the independent variable? (5 Points)
