Computer Science Hands-On Resources
Originally developed by Rozeanne Steckler at SDSC through funding from the National Science Foundation.
Measurement
In this experiment, you will look for correlations between human body height and other human features. Chose at least 10 of your friends and family members to be subjects (the more, the better). Include yourself in the list of subjects.
Pendulum
A basic property of pendulums will be studied in this lab as a method of understanding one function of spreadsheets. As you become more familiar with spreadsheets you will start to use them for a wide variety of tasks and will soon wonder how you ever got along without one!
Temperature
In its article on temperature, Encarta says: In the case of two bodies at different temperatures, heat will flow from the hotter to the colder until their temperatures are identical and thermal
equilibrium is reached. A lot the forces in nature work this way. Nature's goal oftentimes is to establish equilibrium. In this lab, we will experiment with one of those forces, heat transfer, and see how it works.
