Detail Page

written by Dean Baird

This inquiry-based classroom lab investigates of the nature of heating and cooling by thermal absorption and emission. Using temperature probes connected to computer USB interfaces, the students examine the effects of radiant heat on three metal cans of varying colors. The lesson plan is detailed and thorough, giving explanations of how to use computer tools to graph results of the experiment. The lab is a true integration of technology and physics education.
