The purpose of this lab is to determine the volume of one drop of water as accurately as possible, and write a complete detailed lab report to present your findings.

There are several methods possible, and precision is important.  Part of your grade will be basedon how precise your results are, so be sure to choose a good procedure and equipment.

You and your partner should decide on a method together, and run at least three trials.  Your report should include the following:

• Title stuff (the usual)
• Purpose
• Procedure - a detailed numbered list of what you actually did
• Data - properly recorded and presented
• Calculations and Results - clearly shown in proper form
• Error Analysis - why might your results not be perfect?  This may NOT include human error of any kind.
