Teach Engineering: Design Weather Instruments Using Lego Sensors
Students will design and create a LEGO structure that will house and protect a temperature sensor. They will leave the structure in a safe spot and check the temperature regularly and chart it.

Texas Instruments: Warming Up to Heating Curves
In this activity, students use the CBL 2 to collect temperature data as a sensor warms up in a cup of water. They find an appropriate mathematical model for the resulting data set.

Texas Instruments: Warming a Solution
In this activity, students use a temperature sensor to measure the temperature of water samples before and after adding washing soda. They understand concepts of dependent and independent variables and study the relationship between them.
