    Gr7 Lab Activity - Measuring Physical Quantities

    Uploaded by

    Darlene Joyce Apolinario
    The document provides instructions for a science lab activity involving measuring physical quantities and time. Students will use different measurement tools like rulers and measuring tapes to record the length, height, and width of various objects in tables. They will then convert these measurements to meters. Students will also time how long it takes a plastic bottle to roll down an inclined plane using a stopwatch and manual counting, recording these times over multiple trials in a table to calculate averages. They will then collect average time data from other student groups.

    Group _____________ Grade 7 Brazil

    Grade 7 Science
    Lab Activity # _____
    Measuring Physical Quantities

    I. Measuring and Unit Conversion

    Materials:
    Objects to measure – science books, yellow pad paper, Zesto (juice) box
    Tools for measurement – graphing paper, ruler, tape measure

    Procedure:
    a) Use the different tools to measure your science book, yellow pad paper, and juice box.
    For graphing paper, 1 box is equal to 1 mm
    For ruler, use the cm units
    For measuring tape, use the cm units

    b) Measure the length (l), height (h), and width (w) of the object. If the measurement is too small (like the
    width) put “Not Applicable (N/A)” in table 1.

    c) Record your measurements in 2 significant figures in table 1.

    d) Convert all your measurements from table 1 into meters (m). Write the new conversion in table 2.

    II. Measuring Time

    Materials:
    Stopwatch
    Plastic bottle
    An improvised inclined plane

    Procedure:
    a) On an improvised inclined plane, mark the starting line and the finish line.
    b) From the higher end of the inclined plane, release the plastic bottle such that it will roll down the
    inclined plane.
    c) Measure the total time in seconds (s) from the starting line up to the finish line through (a) manual
    counting, and (b) stopwatch/timer.
    d) Record your measurements in 3 significant figures on table 3.
    e) Repeat the steps three times for Trial 1 (T 1), trial 2 (T2) and trial 3 (T3). Compute for the average
    time using the formula below
    T 1 +T 2+ T 3
    average time=
    3

    f) After the whole activity, collect the average time from the other groups. Record the data on table 4.
