How does the volume of snow compare to the volume of liquid from the melted snow ?
Materials two 40ml beakers two 50ml graduated cylinders two 100ml graduated cylinders snow
Hypothesis The volume of liquid from melted snow will equal half of the volume of the snow
Procedures Every time it snows I will go out and collect some snow in the beakers and graduated cylinders
Analyze data & draw conclusion I learned that the amount of water is much less than the amount of snow I collected. Instead of 60ml it is 29ml
Sample Data Table Date Snow volume Water volume Ratio 12/22/08 40ml 40:10 50ml 13ml 50:13 100ml 29ml 100:29 1/15/09 9ml 50:9 100:13
