"CANDLE IN A BOX"
INTERACTIVE LAB EXERCISE
Questions:
1) Which probes showed maximum temperatures over time? Where were they located in the box?
2) Based on differences in probe temperatures over time, what can you deduce about changes in air temperature in the box? What can you deduce about the location of the heat source in the box? Do you have any direct evidence that pinpoints the location of the heat source in the box? Or did you have to estimate the location of the heat source?
3) Was the heat source turned on during the entire experiment? How could you determine this from recorded data and graphs/visualizations?
4) Did the location of the hot spot(s) in the box change during the experiment? Explain changes over time that you detected.
5) Which were most helpful in answering these questions: numerical data, 2D graphs, 3D graphs/images, or other? Explain.
