Draft: Argument Presentation on a whiteboard

This lab is the first part of a two-part series. At the conclusion of Part II: Density of a Solid Lab, you will create a short presentation that summarizes your results from both labs.

For now, draft the following components for Part I: Density of a Liquid:

Question: What is the identity of the unknown liquid and the unknown metal?

Claim: State your answer to the guiding question for the liquid.

  • Example: The identity of the unknown liquid is…

Evidence: Provide the measurements and/or calculations that support your claim. Your evidence should only be calculations and/or measurements that directly point to answering your claim.

Justification: Explain your evidence. Answer such questions as.

  • What do your results suggest?
  • How did you use those results to make an identification?
  • Where there any close calls? How did you decide between the two?
  • How confident are you in your group’s claim? Why?

Use the table below to draft your results only for the density of a liquid lab.

 Question: What is the identity of the unknown liquid?
