Concentration
Abstract
[What you will put here: Summarize the whole report in one, concise paragraph of about 100-200
words. You cannot write the abstract until after you've completed the report. Because it assumes that
you will speak to your conclusion or what you learned in brief.]
Introduction
[What you will put here: In this introduction, some background is provided for the reader
(sources are noted in the reference section at the end of the report).Typically, the introduction states the
problem to be solved or the experiment to be performed and explains its purpose and significance. It
also provides whatever background theory, previous research, or formulas the reader needs to
understand to perform the experiment (or solve the problem).]
Methods and Procedures
Materials

Vinegar

6 Tums tablets, or other antacid tablets with calcium carbonate as its active ingredient

Water

Measuring cups

3 large glasses, able to hold at least 2 cups of liquid

Eye protection such as goggles or safety glasses
I arranged my three glasses on a tabletop or countertop, putting 1 cup of vinegar in the first glass, ½
cup of vinegar in the second glass, and ¼ cup in the third. Next, I placed a Tums tablet in each glass. I

noted what I saw, observing any differences or lack of differences. After I had finished observing, I
poured out the contents of each glass and rinsed each glass thoroughly. I dried the glasses and set them
back on the counter.
Next, I poured 1 cup of water in the first glass, 1 ½ cups of water in the second glass, and 1 ¾ cups of
water in the third glass, so that each glass had a total of 2 cups of liquid in it. Using the spoon, I stirred
the contents of each glass thoroughly. Then, I placed a single Tums tablet in each glass. Again, I noted
what I saw, observing any differences or lack of differences.
Data and Observations

Cleanup
I washed and put away all the equipment.
Conclusion
[Place your conclusion here. You must explain, analyze, and interpret your results, being especially
careful to explain any errors or problems.]

too. I encourage you to do some of your own research too and add to the introduction section of the lab
report from what you learn]
