Lab Station 1 consisted of wool fiber, and what happened to the particles if we pulled the fibers apart. Does the wool fiber when pulled apart increase or decrease in mass? As we found out the fiber stayed at the same mass.
Before we did anything to the fiber we recorded the mass. Then after we pulled apart the fiber; we then weighed it again, and the mass out of everyone's data showed no change to the fiber. From each class we created a histogram showing all the data from the station. From the graph we detected that there was no change because there were more people showing there was no change to the fiber, then people who showed change. This is because the graph showed that more data was recorded between 0.001 and -0.006 making the fiber even when pulled apart show no change. Some observations that could have been made was that the fiber never made any drastic changes other then the fiber being pulled into smaller strands.
Looking at particle level the particles never changed. Looking at a picture the particles would all be the same, but the particles might change in position. I think the reason for the no change is because the only thing that happened to the fiber was it being pulled apart, no particles had left the system or no foreign particles were added to the system. Making the mass not change; this is a big deal because through out the whole experiment the system has to try and stay constant the whole time without little change for there to be no change to the mass.
