Each group will draw an aerial view of the school. |
 |
Select 8 sites from your drawing to place thermometers. |
 |
From the drawing, each group will go on the yard and place their thermometers. |
 |
Attach thermometers to the side of a meter stick using masking tape. |
 |
Place thermometers on the sticks in different places, example: on the grass,
bark/sandbox, asphalt, cement, in the shade, soil, etc. Make sure at least
3 thermometers are in the sun. |
|
|
 |
Make sure the meter sticks with the thermometers are placed 10 cm above
the ground. Make sure the sun is not shining directly on the thermometers. |
 |
Have students predict which sites will be the warmest and coolest and record
their predictions. Have them explain their predictions. |
 |
Visit each site for approximately 2 minutes before making a recording. |
 |
Visit the sites at least 3 times during the day. |
 |
After all temperatures have been recorded, the findings will be charted
for observations. |
