Successful first step

This week I had a successful first step in implementing the CBL and temperature probe. The statistics class and myself ran an experiment collecting data on temperature versus time. We discovered that the resulting data is extraordinarily linear and tied in very well with regression line analysis. They were truly impressed when the calculator calculated and drew in the regression line before their eyes when the calculator was connected to the view screen. This week we will take similar data and use Excel and InspireData to do the same sort of thing using different but accessible technology.
