Calculations:
Percentage Change in temperature:
(Final-Initial)/Final x 100 = % change Initial
Data chosen: Dry; Final=53, initial=79. 79-53/79 x 100 = 33%
Average percent change in temperature:
The sum of all percent changes in temperature for dry / the number of percentages
27 + 31 + 29 + 34 + 37 + 31 + 35 + 29 + 35 + 37 + 30/11
= -32% average percent change in temperature
Conclusion
The experiment was designed to investigate how sweating is effective on cooling you down. Four test tubes containing water that was all in different conditions of one being a normal test tube covered in newspaper, the same but was blown with a fan, a wet test tube covered in newspaper and the same one that was blown with a fan. For fifteen minutes, the temperature of the water in the test tube is measured every minute.
