the one with the temperature

Activity: Temperature Probe Response Time

Objectives:

• TI-84 graphing calculater
• Sensor with different units of meature
• Time graph data colletion parameters

Materials:

• Graphing calculator
• Vernier easy temp
• Easy temp data application
• Two 250 mL beakers
• Cold water with ice
• How water

This activity did not work for my group for a while. We could not figure out what was going on with the calculator. Even Dr. Ezrailson had troubles with the calculator. When we finally figured out what the information that we needed, we spilled the water. Twice.

The point of this activity was to measure the probe's response time between two different temperatures and how long it took for the temperature to level off between the two cups of water. Ours leveled off at around 60 seconds.
