Cool Beans: An Experiment with Newton's Law of Cooling

After Pete spills a cup of hot coffee, he and Noah conduct an experiment to test Newton’s Law of Cooling, a physical law that describes the rate at which warm objects cool down. Along the way, they discuss differential equations, exponential functions, and the proper way to sit after getting in a hot tub. This may be the hottest episode of the Math Club yet!
