Temperature graph of a certain experiment

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion centers around the implications of representing temperature data from an experiment on different scales, specifically comparing the Celsius and Kelvin scales. Participants explore how a linear relationship in Celsius might translate to the Kelvin scale.

Discussion Character

  • Conceptual clarification, Debate/contested, Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant questions what the graph of the experiment would look like on the Kelvin scale if it is linear on the Celsius scale.
  • Another participant asks if others understand the difference between Celsius and Kelvin, implying a need for clarification on temperature scales.
  • A participant expresses a lack of understanding of the Kelvin scale, indicating they are seeking help due to limited instruction in their online class.
  • Another response suggests using an external resource (Google) to find information about Kelvin temperatures, emphasizing self-directed learning.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

The discussion does not reach a consensus, as participants express varying levels of understanding about the temperature scales and their implications for graphing data.

Contextual Notes

Some participants may lack foundational knowledge about temperature scales, which could affect their ability to engage with the topic fully. The discussion also reflects a reliance on external resources for clarification.

Who May Find This Useful

This discussion may be useful for students learning about temperature scales and their graphical representations, as well as those seeking to understand the differences between Celsius and Kelvin.

If the temperature graph of a certain experiment formed a straight line when recorded on the Celsius scale, discuss what a graph of the same experiment on the Kelvin scale would look like.

Do you know the difference between celsius and Kelvin?
 
No, I do not...I am taking an online class so there isn't much instruction.
 
Then go to "google.com" and enter "Kelvin temperature"!

Finding out for yourself is a lot better than being told.
