Science Lab Report Essay
Science: Investigating the best fabric for science laboratory clothing. (Final Report)
Abstract: This experiment looked at the effectiveness of cotton, wool and polyester to come up with a hypothesis to which material would be the best used in a lab coat. After the hypothesis was made an experiment was done on the 3 materials, to find out which material is the best to use in a lab coat. The results of the experiment were that wool was the best material to be used in a lab coat.
Introduction: Scientists and students working in a laboratory are usually working with chemicals. Most of these substances can be harmful to your skin. Most lab coats have long sleeves that are cuffed at the end. The long sleeves protect the arms while the cuffs …show more content…
No immediate reaction, the acid got absorbed. Hard to rip.
No immediate reaction, the hydroxide got absorbed. Hard to rip.
It absorbed quickly.
Wool
The wool took a few seconds to catch fire and shrinking.
No immediate reaction, the acid got absorbed. Hard to rip.
No immediate reaction, the hydroxide got absorbed. Hard to rip.
It didn’t absorb any water, lying like a bubble on top of the fabric.
Data analysis:
The wool performed the best in each test. In the flame test it didn’t catch fire only blacken the wool, in the acid/base test it had no effect to the wool and the wool was hard to rip afterwards, and in the water absorption test it didn’t absorb any water it just lied on top of the fabric like a …show more content…
If the polyester was used in the lab coat it will start melting on to your skin, being more dangerous than without the lab coat. The polyester was easy to rip in both of the acid/bases experiment. Only in the water absorption test it did well not absorbing.
All three materials had no immediate reaction to the acid/bases and only got absorbed. The wool and polyester didn’t absorb any water in the absorption test. The difference in the flammability was that polyester was the only material that started melting. Also that cotton was the only material that absorbed water unlike the only materials lying like a bubble on the fabric.
All the experiments that were done agree to the hypothesis that was made. In the hypothesis it points out that wool is the best material to use in a lab coat, and in the 3 experiences that were done it backed up the hypothesis saying that wool is the best material out of the other 2.
Overall based on the hypothesis and the 3 experiments wool will have been the best material to be used in a lab coat. It is flame resistance, acid resistance and liquid
