Science Projects

I added two projects done by the kids.

The Newton's Law of Cooling Down Project was done 1 year ago using Robolab and RCX to investigate the rate of cooling and looking into better coffee cups to keep the temperature.

Another project is about using Robolab and NXT to look into ways to optimize following the dark line with different wheels, axle lengths and other factors.

Thanks for sharing the documents. They are pretty impressive.
I had one minor question regarding the precision of the thermometer used in the experiment. Could you please comment on its precision and how many significant digits might be appropriate for K?

Another question regarding the line following project is whether you had considered calculating variance along with the data presented? Do you think the difference you see is significant?

Cheers,

BTW, when are you going to do the one for iced coffee?
