Dilution Lab and Lesson

We learned a lesson about serial dilution today and learned the math behind diluting solutions. It consists of a simple equation which essentially describes a ratio.

We performed the lab with simple food coloring and we diluted the entire solution down to clear water. Although the lesson was simple the experiment helped me get a full understanding of the lesson. Hopefully I will be ready for the quiz on Monday! 

This is what the experiment essentially looked like in animated terms.
