Bubble Concentration Lab'
We #ill discuss #hat it means to comare, the meanin&
of differences in the concentrations of solutions, ho# to
measure the diameter of a circle, and ho# to find the
a$era&e'
To find the average we add all the numbers together &
divide by the amount of numbers we added together
The diameter of a circle is the length across the circle !must
go through the center"
# thin$ the largest bubbles will be from sample %%

bubble was a spectrum of color !we saw the different colors of the rainbow"
then we say blac$ dots & white right before the bubble popped
