A lab exercise was performed to see if air can be classed as matter. The lab involved precise mass measurements of balloons before and after inflation. The mass of air determined by utilizing the difference in mass between an non-inflated balloon in a beaker and the same balloon inflated.

Lesson Comments
Objetive was to generate an appreciation of the complexity of the working systems and how they are affected by the anticoagulants.
trevor has insight into the complexities, and I think is seeing how nothing operates by itself. everything is dependent on some other factor.
