The thermometers arrived late in the semester, so we were only able to use them for one remaining project. Still, they made a huge impact. Next semester, we'll use them for other activities, including heat transfer and homeostasis of body temperature.\r\n\r\nOur remaining project was building a solar oven. We used the new digital thermometers to track temperature changes inside the solar ovens during the design phase, so my students could determine each oven's efficiency. The probe thermometers are sturdy and provide a clear reading, which is much better than the old analog ones. The infrared \"gun\" thermometers helped everyone figure out how much heat was escaping through the sides, and whether to add insulation or change their materials. We've never been able to do this before.\r\n\r\nAfter making all the final modifications, we used the probe thermometers to assess a small volume of water to determine which oven heated it the fastest and to the highest temperature.
