About Us

• I helped by taking temperatures finding
  sunrise/sunset times. We collected information
  using newspapers, T.V., online. Because
  daylight information was not listed, we used some
  simple math (subtraction) to figure it out. Also
  if we took temperatures at about noon. We each
  took a thermometer and got out of the sun wind.
  In a shady corner we held the thermometers away
  from our body so our body heat wouldnt effect
  our results.

About Us

• Some places have more minutes of sunlight
  hotter temperatures than other places because of
  the Earths tilted axis rotation. We used the
  worksheet 4A B to record our data. On the
  worksheet, each student took 10 schools and
  graphed them then put in a line of best fit
  (ex slide 4 5).

About Us

• After all the work and all the planning, Ive
  learned that as the latitude increases, the
  minutes of sunlight temperature decreases. If I
  did this experiment again, I would put in more
  data from the Southern Hemisphere schools.
  Because just one school is not enough data.
