Hey does anybody have any idea on how many observations you should have? Like is there a good ammount that you should have? Sorry if this is a bad question I've just been wondering because it seems like whenever I take the test I never seem to have enough... Anyways if anyone knows and replies thank you for your insight!

sciolyandmathcounts had some good tests for observationssciolyandmathcounts wrote: by sciolyandmathcounts on Thu Mar 18, 2010 6:31 pm
Good Tests(in my opinion):
PH
Acidity
Temperature
Endothermic/Exothermic
Carbonate?
Electrolyte?
Color of Agent? etc.

Put the metal probes into the liquid and if it has a high beep it is high ionic, if it has a low beep it's low ionic, if it doesnt beep then it covalent.

Well, that depends on the type of tester you have. We are getting a digital one, and it gives us qualitative data.sciolygrl258 wrote:Put the metal probes into the liquid and if it has a high beep it is high ionic, if it has a low beep it's low ionic, if it doesnt beep then it covalent.
