Experimental Plan

• We are using a thermometer, barometer, and
  radiation monitor to measure the variables that
  effect the radiation in the atmosphere.
• We will stop at every 250 ft. to make a 5 min
  measurement for all equipment to equalize.
• We expect to see radiation increase with
  altitude, and the thermometer/barometer to
  decrease with altitude.

Conclusion

• The radiation detected seem to be wild, but it
  tends to show a trend with both barometer and the
  thermometer by decreasing with altitude.
• They all decrease with altitude, but we believe
  the radiation detector picked up some ground
  radiation or just was random.
• The thermometer data has a slight-curve. It has a
  raise in temperature, which was unexpected, but
  we believe that is because the sun was rising and
  heating up the air.
