Exploring the Data

You are now ready to view the data in graphical form. Unwrap your container and reconnect the MicroLog™ to the computer communication cable. Make sure the computer communication cable is still connected to the computer.

As you observe the data is there a pattern of increasing or decreasing temperature readings inside your container? By using and manipulating the AppleWorks™ or Excel™ spreadsheet, you will be able to look more closely at the data and determine certain relationships.

How did the air temperature inside your container change with the different covers? Describe your thoughts on the Probe Discussion Board.
