Purpose:The purpose of this lab was to carry a pan of water around the track and at the end determine how much water you used over all and how much you spilled during the entire three laps.
Procedure: There are 6 steps. Step 1- Gather all materials. Step 2- Pour 2,000 ML of water into the pan Step 3- Walk around the track as slow as you want and time and record the process Step 4- At the end of the lap, fill in water until it is filled to the top, and record how much you filled Step 5- Repeat the process for the next 2 laps Step 6- Talk the amount of water you used throughout all 3 labs, and record how much water you had at the end, and subtract the two, which gives you the total water you spilled.
Materials: Graduated cylinder, tray, baking pan (aluminum), water, track to walk on

Observations:
Conclusion: In this lab, we took turns walking around the track with a pan full of water while it spilled. We came to the conclusion that the slower we walked the lab, the more water we spilled. When we walked faster, we did not focus on the water spilling as much and did not shake the pan. In the last two laps, which were faster, we spilled less water than in the first lap, which was walked slowly.
