    Scientific Method Steps

    • Observation: Observing and recording occurrences in the experiment.
    • Inference: Using data and past experience to make conclusions and explanations.
    • Identifying the problem: Recognizing the issue or question to be addressed.
    • Forming a hypothesis: Making an educated guess about the relationship between variables.
    • Identifying the variables: Determining the manipulated, responding, and controlled variables in the experiment.
    • Controlling the variables: Maintaining constant conditions for all variables except the one being tested.
    • Planning the experiment: Designing steps to test the hypothesis.
    • Collecting data: Methodically gathering and recording the experiment's observations.
    • Interpreting data: Analyzing and organizing collected data using graphs, tables, and calculations.
    • Making a conclusion: Determining the acceptance or rejection of the hypothesis based on data analysis.
    • Preparing a report: Detailed communication and documentation of the results.

    Importance of Chemical Storage and Disposal

    • Chemicals in the lab are hazardous and need proper storage and disposal.
    • Chemicals must be stored according to their categories and the hazards they present.
    • Correct and safe disposal of chemicals prevents environmental pollution.
    • Disposal should focus on safety and the environment.

    Laboratory Safety

    • Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Using safety goggles, facemask, gloves, and laboratory coats.
    • Proper handling of chemicals: Labelling hazards and risks of chemical substances.
    • Fire and emergency management: Proper management of fire and other emergencies in the lab.
    • Waste disposal: Correct procedures for disposing all types of toxic materials, used apparatus, and waste products.

    Experiment on Solubility

    • Experiment to study the effect of temperature on the solubility of salt in water.
    • Measure the solubility of salt at varied temperatures.
