A friend claims that ceiling fans are better than air conditioning because they cool the air faster than air conditioners do. Could you investigate this through scientific inquiry? Explain..What kind of data would you need to collect to carry out this experiment?

Your friend is delusional.
A thermometer and two similar rooms is all you'll need - or, just one room and two thermometers.
The thermometer under the fan will indicate room temperature - say, 70 degrees - the one in front of the Air Conditioner will indicate approx. 38-40 degrees F.
There's a valid reason why central air conditioners are so prevalent in the hotter portions of our country.

people are curious beings. we attempt to confirm why and how we exist. Why each and every thing is how that's. even as the neanderthals and the historic people of old civilizations were round, the were always recreating their perspectives on how the sky looked as if it would glimmer at evening. From rock artwork contained in the caves of bulls ect..to the tremendous monoliths of historic Egypt, to the orthodox church homes of now. And to the technology academies. technology and spirituality will always feud, because some people favor to trust that there is a international previous with a benevolent being and a frightened malevolent counterpart. were as others trust there is not any different aspect, and each and every thing has perplexing evidence and so on.

Hi. Your friend is incorrect. Ceiling fans do not heat or cool the air, only move it around.
