Physics: Skills of Science - Celsius to Fahrenheit

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.
