"CANDLE IN A BOX"

INTERACTIVE LAB EXERCISE

Process Data I: 2D Graphs
 

    16) Enter recorded data into a spreadsheet (like MS Excel) by cutting and pasting the data from
            Data Logger in Tables under View.  See Fig. c.

Fig. c. Part of Data Logger table displaying data associated with
graph shown beneath.

 

    17) Use Excel or another spreadsheet software to create 2-dimensional and graphs of the
            recorded data. A typical and informative kind of graph would display temperature of the
            probes plotted against time. See Fig. d.

Fig. d. Temperature data from eight probes plotted against time. Graph created in MS Excel in same database file in which data are stored.
 

    18) Analyze the results by examining the 2D graphs.

    19) Compare numerical data with graph(s) to gain insights about phenomena that may have
            occurred during the experiment.
