Science lab 1

Part I: Using the lab animation, fill in the data table below to gather your data, and use it to help you generate your hypothesis, outcomes, and analysis.

 

Energy Source	Fuel (Coal)/Uranium Needed (tons)	CO2 Emissions (tons)	Sulfur Dioxide and Other Emissions (tons)	Radioactivity mSv (millisievert)	Solid Waste (tons)	Accidents
Coal	2.5 mil	7 mil	300,000	1 mSv	600,000	Fire Destruction
Nuclear	75,000 / 30	210,000	0	0.01 mSv	250	Releases leading to radiation sickness, death and environmental contamination.

 

 

 

Part II: Write a 1-page lab report using the following scientific method sections:

• Purpose
• The purpose of this lab is to obtained detail on how energy source such as Coal and Nuclear work.
• Introduction
• This is an investigation of what is currently known about the question being asked. Use background information from credible references to write a short summary about concepts in the lab. List and cite references in APA style.
• Hypothesis/Predicted Outcome
• A hypothesis is an educated guess. Based on what you have learned and written about in the Introduction, state what you expect to be the results of the lab procedures.
• Methods
• Summarize the procedures that you used in the lab. The Methods section should also state clearly how data (numbers) were collected during the lab; this will be reported in the Results/Outcome section.
• Results/Outcome
• Provide here any results or data that were generated while doing the lab procedure.
• Discussion/Analysis
• In this section, state clearly whether you obtained the expected results, and if the outcome was as expected.
• Note: You can use the lab data to help you discuss the results and what you learned.

Provide references in APA format. This includes a reference list and in-text citations for references used in the Introduction section.

Give your paper a title and number, and identify each section as specified above. Although the hypothesis will be a 1-sentence answer, the other sections will need to be paragraphs to adequately explain your experiment.

      When your lab report is complete, post it in Submitted Assignment files.
