Here is a sample of what you can do in Sage.
var('a,n')
model(x) = a*x^n
N = [16,28,59,120]
T = [0.135,0.523,7.36,248]
data = zip(N,T)
@interact
def _(n=[1..5]):
L = find_fit(data,model.subs(n=n))
show(plot(model.subs(a=L[0].rhs(),n=n),(x,0,120))+points(data,pointsize=20,color='black'))
See it live and in action here. Note that with four data points, of course the fifth-degree one is perfect! My guess is that here you may have (yuck) exponential growth, but without more data it's hard to be sure.
