UOP

Goal: Given a marble, an empty jar, and a vernier caliper calculate how many marbles will fit into the empty jar.

Step 1: Estimate how many marbles will fit. Turn your answers into the teacher before doing step 2.

Step 2: Write a detailed paragraph explaining how you’d solve the problem. Use Microsoft Word to type it.

Sample: In order to complete this lab activity, we will need to find the volume of our marble and the volume of our jar. To find the volume of the marble we will use our vernier caliper to measure its diameter and apply the formula 4/3pr³. We will have to make sure to find the radius of our marble, label our answer, and if needed we will round our answer. For the jar, we will measure the height and diameter and apply the formula pr²h. We will then need to take the volume of our jar and divide it by the volume of our marble. Our answer will need to be rounded to the nearest whole number.

Step 3: Carry out the activity. Organize your data in a spreadsheet. Make sure your paragraph contains all your steps here. Show all work and label your answers.
