Newton's Law of Cooling

This resource contains the theory, examples, questions and answers regarding Newton’s Law of Cooling.

You will find a fun and colourful slide show that illustrates this theorem, as well as some interesting examples that will allow students to think critically and arrive at solutions.

Here is a typical example:

At 06:00 am, a detective finds a murdered body.

Temperature of the body is 30 degrees celsius.

By 08:00am the temperature dropped to 25 degrees celsius.

Surrounding air temperature is 20 degrees celsius.

Using the fact that when alive, the human body is 37 degrees celsius…find out when the murder was committed.

Students will become real life detectives here. Equipping them with out of the box knowledge. Have fun!

Kind Regards
