Activity 1 – Explore the mean, median, mode, maximum, and minimum of a temperature data set.
Activity 2 – Collect live temperature data from hot or cold water using the Observe Temperature Sensor, then use Desmos to graph and analyze your results. Adjust sliders to match your curve to an exponential model and see how Newton’s Law of Cooling predicts the cooling behavior of everyday objects.
Activity 3 – Simulate the molecular motion of a gas inside a balloon and plot a histogram of the Maxwell-Boltman distribution.
Collection Utility – Connect your temperatue sensor and log data to a Desmos table and graph. Copy the graph or import/export the data.
