P1-C: instrument-check record
BLANK empirical form. Use one copy for each group/phase, or attach a clearly identified teacher-recorded check for your exact probes. Follow P1-C. Keep before and after values. This checks consistency and response, not calibration.
P1-C3. Record group/date/phase and check-record ID; probe A/B maker/model/IDs; teacher-checked immersion/response instructions and required wait; classroom air instrument ID/location. Record any supplied maker accuracy information as stated, or “not available”; do not infer it from display resolution.
Blank empirical instrument-check record; no readings supplied.
| Check water | A read1 °C | B read1 °C | A read2 °C | B read2 °C | Wait s |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Before: room | ________ | ________ | ________ | ________ | ________ |
| Before: cool | ________ | ________ | ________ | ________ | ________ |
| After: room | ________ | ________ | ________ | ________ | ________ |
| After: cool | ________ | ________ | ________ | ________ | ________ |
Record actual check timestamps, conditions, replacement instrument IDs and action here or on an attached named note. Link every run to its check ID. If instruments are replaced mid-phase, use a new check record and fresh samples.
P1-F1: fresh paired trial 1
Blank empirical record. Run F1; reference: P0 bare; prototype: P1 one dry felt sheet. Use P1-M and P1-C. Record °C exactly as displayed; never invent a missing reading.
P1-F1-SET. Record group/date; cup and sensor IDs/left-right positions; cover and sleeve condition; measured mL each; common-batch temperature; probe response interval; linked instrument-check record ID (P1-S-DEVICE).
Blank empirical recording form: no readings supplied.
