Lab Station #1

At our lab station, we used the fiber for measurement. We recorded the data from when the wool was pulled apart and when we put it all back together.
My claim is that when we pulled apart the wool, it was the same weight as the wool when it wasn't pulled apart. The mass stayed the same.
The evidence I have is the comparison with all of the other groups. Almost every other group had little or no change at all to their mass that were recorded. When there was a group that had a mass change, it was close to almost nothing. I learned that the little errors in the others lab groups could have been caused by the scale. The scales we use are sometimes off by just 0.1 grams, causing errors in the data.
My reasoning is that no matter what you do to the wool fiber, the mass will stay the same. The only way the mass would have changed is if we added wool or taken away wool from the system. Also, almost everyone in the class agreed with the outcome, also showing that the mass stays the same.
