1. Boil a cup of water. (212 F)
2. Set the cup in a room with regular room temperature and record the room temperature. (68 F)
3. Wait 15 minutes and measure the temperature of the cup. (104 F)
4. Use the measurements from part 3 to solve forkin the Newton's Law of Cooling given by

T(t) = t₀ + (T₁-T₀) e^-kt

WhereT₁is the initial temperature of the water

T₀is the temperature in the room

tis the time

T(t)is the temperature of the water at time

(NOTE: We will officially cover solving exponential equations in the next module. For now, you can use this re-arrangement of Newton's Law of Cooling to findk
