6. How could you get more accurate results from this lab? List and explain one way you could reduce your errors.

7. Using the sheet of graph paper in your kit, create a bar graph using the data in Table 5 to compare the density obtained for each day studied. You can also use a graphing program to create this graph.
   Hint: In order to scale the graph, you take the range of the numbers (the highest number and the lowest number), subtract them and divide by the number of lines on your graph. This will tell you how to divide up your graph evenly so it’s not all squished onto one area of the graph.
   Hint: The dependent variable is placed on the Y axis when the independent variable is placed on the X axis. When you create your graph, remember that the X and Y axes need to be labeled and you should give a title to your graph.
   Insert a picture of your graph.
8. Insert a final picture of your experiment with your name and access code handwritten in the background.
