Set-up two temperature sensors to measure the temperature
inside and outside a window. You may find that over a long period
of time it is sensible to record your data remotely. This means
that your datalogger stores the data and does not need to be connected
to the computer whilst it is collecting data. You will need to connect
the datalogger to the computer to see the data when you have finished
the experiment.
Analysis
1.
How does
the temperature vary each day?
2.
Which sensor
shows the greatest range of temperatures?
3.
How do
you think the heat travels through the glass?
4.
How do
the weather conditions affect the results?
5.
Try to
use a light sensor at the same time to monitor the light level
on the window.
