Physics: Skills of Science - Celsius to Fahrenheit

by Texas Instruments - Data Collection with Probes, Skills of science Lesson

Objectives

  • Students will learn about linear relationships.
  • Students will perform data collection and analysis.
  • Students will graph data and draw conclusions based on the graph.
  • Students will find linear regressions.

Vocabulary

  • temperature scale
  • Celsius
  • Fahrenheit
  • linear regression

About the Lesson

This lesson involves gathering temperature data simultaneously with two probes-one measuring Fahrenheit and the other Celsius.
As a result, students will:

  • Become familiar with TI-Nspire CX technology and the DataQuest application.
  • Use two Temperature Probes to make measurements.
  • Use a graph to make conclusions about the experiment.
