Science Laboratory Lesson "Boiling Point of Water"

On 5 February 2014, we conducted an experiment regarding the boiling point of water, as mentioned in the above header.

Firstly, we learned how to read the thermometer properly, in which it is essential that the eye be at the same level as the mercury meniscus, so as to prevent parallax error.

Secondly, we carried out the experiment and we recorded the experiment results, placing the raw data into the tables. However, we noticed that the water had some impurities as the water boiled at 101.5 degrees Celsius.

Afterwards, we plotted the results on a graph, joining the points with a best fit curve, and we also learned how to make accurate predictions from the graph.
