    The document discusses common errors that students make when conducting experiments and how to improve experimental design and accuracy. It notes that equipment provided by schools may be unreliable, only doing single trials can lead to variable results, reactions need to be properly timed, and changing variables like concentration or type of acid used can provide more insight into trends and rates of reactions.

    Errors

    Students – they make mistakes

    Equipment – its from the school so it could be unreliable for example – inaccurate scales and
    beakers – so improve quality of equipment

    Only one trial – important to find an average as the results may vary significantly

    The balloon wasn’t put on fast enough – most of the gas was lost before balloon was placed on the
    beaker leading to inaccurate results – to fix this we should put the powder inside of the balloon so
    that you won’t have worry about any gas leaking out

    Forgot to time reactions – time reactions to improve accuracy

    Things to change

    Different concentration – determine rate of reaction

    Different acids – determine trends within
