Mass Lab Station # 4

        Mass Lab station 4 involved steel wool, and what would happen to the particles if we burned the steel wool. In preforming this lab we answered the question: Does the steel wool increase, decrease, or stay the same after being burned? We found out that the steel wool's mass increases.

         To start the lab we recorded the mass of the steel wool alone. Then we burned it for a dew moments. After that we weighed the steel wool again. The data retrieved showed that there was an increase in mass. In class we made histograms with our groups displaying the group's data from the station. This helped us discover the increase of mass in lab station #4. 
          
          In Mass Lab Station #4 there was an increase in mass. My class found out that there were particles added to the original model. I think there were particles added because the mass increased. And the steel wool was burned and when that happened particles from the outside were added to the beginning particle model. During this lab the system of steel wool, evaporation dish, and the Bunsen Burner stayed constant, so this could not have contributed to the increase in mass.
