1. Mr. Bloop put a vial of protein powder in the -25 C freezer.

It was accidentally left out on

the lab bench by one of his students. It had been there for most of the day, and the
temperature in the lab was 19 C. Once in the freezer, the temperature of the powder began to
drop at a rate of 4 C every 5 minutes. Assuming the temperature change rate was constant
(which it really isn't, but we'll pretend), how long would it take to get to the temperature of
the freezer?

2. Tyler and Christina are playing a game in which each player either wins, loses, or draws
(ties) at each turn. The winner of a turn is awarded 5 points, and the loser loses 5 points. If it
is a draw, 0 points are awarded. For the first eight rounds Tyler had the following results:
lose, win, lose, win, win, lose, win, draw. What was Christina's point total for the rounds?
3. Courtney is very interested in cryogenics (the science of very low temperatures). With the
help of her science teacher she is doing an experiment on the affect of low temperatures on
bacteria. She cools one sample of bacteria to a temperature of -58C and another to -85C.
What was the temperature difference in the two experiments?
4. Certain mites in the arctic thrive at an average temperature of -51 C. They also do well at
temperatures of up to 27 C. What is the temperature range acceptable to these arctic mites?
