Mass Lab Station #1

At station one, we were supposed to measure the mass on fiber before and after you pulled it apart. I predicted that the mass would stay the same after you pulled it apart because you aren't changing anything. My prediction was correct, my mass stayed at 166.18 even after i pulled the fiber apart. This is because we aren't doing anything to change the particles, we are just essentially changing the shape and how big it is. We kept the same amount of fiber, we didn't take any out or put anymore back in, so it should stay the same. If we would have heated it up, burned it, got it wet, or made it cold the particles would've change, therefore causing the mass to change, but since we didn't do any of that they stayed the same. In conclusion, after discussing with the class, we believe that the mass and the particles stay the same.
