Problem:
What is the difference between interpolation and extrapolation?
Procedure:
1) Using the Triple Beam Balance, mass out paperclips according to data table.
2) Fill in the data chart
3) Graph the results
*get graph paper from your instructor
Data Chart:
Number of paperclips / Mass of paperclips (grams)

35
Conclusion:
1) Interpolate the mass of 10 paperclips
2) Interpolate the mass of 25 paperclips
3) Extrapolate the mass of 100 paperclips
