1. Experimental Objectives
   
   A) To locate a heat source in a cardboard box using collection of temperature data throughout the box and interpolation of data
   
   B) To experiment with volume visualization of temperature data from probes in a cardboard box under various temperature conditions
   
   
2. Educational Objectives
