The equipment used for this experiment is balance.
Calculations of the soil experiment:
Weight of crucible + soil = 25.66g
Weight of crucible alone = 15.92g
Weight of soil + water = 25.66g
Weight of soil without water = 25.17g
Work out the weight of water = 0.49g
Workout the % water = weight of water x 100
Weight of soil and water
0.49×100 = 1.9 %water = 1.9 %
25.66
Weight of evaporating dish = 60.69g
Weight of evaporating dish with soil = 114.98g
Hot plate 150
Temperature increased to 400 after 5min
Temperature after cooled weighed = 110.13g
54.29g of soil 49.
44g of soil without humus
49.44g 54.29g x 100 = 91%
TASK 2 (M4)
The equipments were set up on the benches.
The Bunsen burner plugged in the gas taps.
Tripod and crucible is on top of it and stared to heat up the soil.
Use the same sample and heated up the sample to burn off humus.
Sample left to cool down.
Burned off the humus of soil in the fume cupboard.
Evaporating dish for the soil on the hot plate.
Got the temperature for the hot plate and fume cupboard.
Balance was used in this experiment for accuracy because the balance gives accurate readings.
TASK 3 (D4)
Accuracy was assured throughout the experiment by not leaning on the benches so it wouldn’t affect the readings on the balance.
The measuring equipment was the balance, it was set up before using it, to take readings.
The experimental errors in this experiment can be when heating up the soil; the soil might have been burned.
Another error is that when the cooled basin is weighed it might be contaminated.
Weighing the soil on the balance with some samples left on the balance can give wrong results.
To improve the accuracy of the results is, when heating up soil be more careful and gentle with it not to burn the soil.
Next time when weighing the cooled basin make sure not to waste any of it by contaminating it.
Make sure the balance is clean before using it to measure the soil, so it gives accurate results. More quality balances can be used.

The equipments were set up on the benches.
Beakers with labels on them.
pH4, pH7 and pH10 in the beakers.
The buffer was connected to the pH meter.
Calibrating the pH meter.
Measuring the solutions.
Washing the buffer every time of use.
pH paper was used to get a range of pH solutions.
Taking results down from the pH meter.
In this experiment pH meter was used to indicate the acidity of pH. The buffer was use to measure the pH solutions. And also pH paper was used to get a range of pH solutions.
TASK 3 (D4)
Accuracy was assured throughout the experiment by calibrating the pH meter before measuring the pH solutions.
The measuring equipments were set up before using them the buffer was connected to the pH meter and Ph paper was ready.
Experimental errors in the experiment can be that the buffer wasn’t washed every time using it. Another error can be that incorrect labelling the pH solutions. The pH meters can not be giving accurate answers, calibration wasn’t correct.
Improving the accuracy of measurements buffer is to be washed each time of use.
Labelling the solutions on the beaker and changing the solutions each time.
To get accurate answers from the pH meters replace them with better quality pH meters. Repeating the experiment can give accurate answers.

TASK 2 (M4)
Equipment was on the benches.
Power pack plugged to the socket.
Multimeters plugged to the power pack.
Amps on 10A
Volt on 20V
Wires connected to the ruler and to the power pack.
Other end of the wires connected to the multimeters.
See the resistance of the wire.
Take results down.
In this experiment power pack was used to get flow of electricity coming through. The multimeters were used to measure the current (amps) and measure the voltage (volts). Meter ruler was used to measure the resistance length of wire.
TASK 3 (D4)
Accuracy was assured throughout the experiment using the correct amps and volts on the multimeter getting the correct resistance on the wire.
The measuring equipment was set up before using it, the power pack was connected to the multimeters. And the ruler was connected to them with wires to complete circuit.
The experimental errors in this experiment can be that the multimeters weren’t accurate. Another error can be the wires, depending on the wires it gives different resistance. It can be also that the wires are not straight.
To improve the accuracy of the experiment is that , using more sensitive and accurate multimeters.
Get a wires and another one compare the results.
To have a straighter wire as possible, placing it yourself to get better results.
More time for the experiment and to repeat it 2 times.

It is a microscope slide that has squares and only seen under microscope. Pippetor was used to take small amount of culture and water with accurate readings.
TASK 3 (D4)
Accuracy was assured throughout the experiment by using the correct amount of the culture and water with the pippetor. The squares were found in the haemocytometer, before applying the dilution on to the haemocytometer.
The measuring equipment was set up before using it the microscope was plugged in to the socket. The haemocytometer was on the stage of the microscope. The pippetor was measured accurate for the yeast and water.
The experimental errors can be for this experiment that, the squares on the haemocytometer was not found before applying the dilution. The culture might have been added more then 0.9ml. Micro-organisms might not be counted correct. The haemocytometer might not be clean. It can be that not waited for 15 minutes or more than 15 minuets waited.
