Lab Setup and Data Collection Procedures

The video tutorial demonstrates how to set up a lab experiment to measure the angle of insulation for different seasons in San Francisco. It covers the necessary materials, step-by-step setup instructions for both winter and summer, and how to measure the angle of sunlight using a protractor. The tutorial concludes with guidance on data collection and ensuring the setup is correct before proceeding.

What is the primary purpose of the lab setup discussed in the video?

• To measure the temperature of San Francisco

• To observe the angle of insulation during different seasons

• To study the rotation of the Earth

• To calculate the distance between the Earth and the Sun

Which city is used as the reference point for the lab setup?

• San Francisco

• Los Angeles

• Chicago

• New York

What is the first step in setting up the lab for San Francisco in the summertime?

• Measure the angle with a protractor

• Find San Francisco on the globe

• Position the light source

• Attach the string to the probe

What should be used to secure the probe to the globe?

• A sturdy piece of tape

• A paper clip

• A piece of string

• A ruler

Why is a piece of paper placed behind the probe?

• To provide additional security

• To measure the angle more accurately

• To reflect light onto the probe

• To mark the position of the probe

Where should the light source be positioned during the setup?

• At the South Pole

• At the Equator

• At the Tropic of Cancer

• At the North Pole

What tool is used to measure the angle of sunlight on San Francisco?

• A ruler

• A protractor

• A thermometer

• A compass

What is the approximate angle of sunlight on San Francisco during the summer setup?

• 15 degrees

• 60 degrees

• 30 degrees

• 45 degrees

What should be done after completing the setup to ensure accurate data collection?

• Remove all tape from the setup

• Ensure the setup remains undisturbed

• Move the setup to a different location

• Turn on the light source immediately

What is the final step after collecting data from the setup?

• Turn off the light source

• Log the data onto the computer

• Reposition the light source

• Remove the probe from the globe
