Station #1 included taking wool fiber and recording the mass when it was compacted and when it was pulled apart.
Claim: The mass didn't increase or decrease, it stayed the same.
Evidence: Compared to all the other groups, they all had similar results. The majority had no change in mass, and no one had a mass that increased. Only a couple groups had a negative outcome, and even then it was only by .02 to .01 which one could assume was just an error in the scale.
Reasoning: My reasoning is that even if you did pull the fiber apart, you aren't changing the particles, you're just spreading them out. You didn't add anything to the system or take anything out of the system, everything was the same so there shouldn't be a change in mass.
