Objectives● To Measure the temperatures of different

environments in school● To test out the hypothesis - whether concrete

surface has a higher temperature or other surfaces

StatisticsA-Top Floor of Multistorey CarparkB-Garden outside printing centre C-Open space between canteen and Block CD-Terraces E-Running trackG-Fountain area outside General Office

Ranking in the areasmuch of our results were different, mainly because of the time we went there, the presence of wind, direction of sun. etc.

Hypothesis• Based on our tables of results, we

established a hypothesis• The surface of the ground at a specific

location affects the temperature there, mainly, at concrete surfaces

Measuring 0f temperatures

Site A (Multistorey Carpark)Day 115cm above ground = 34.2 degrees celcius1.5m above ground = 32 degrees celciusDay 215cm above ground = 28 degrees celcius1.5m above ground = 28.9 degrees celciusPhysical descriptionConcrete floor, cars parked, no shade

Site B(Garden outside printing centre)Day 115cm above ground = 33 degrees celcius1.5m above ground = 32 degrees celciusDay 215cm above ground = 28.6 degrees celcius1.5m above ground = 28.5 degrees celciusPhysical descriptionShade from tree, grass, little sunlight

Site C (Open Space between Canteen and Block C)Day 115cm above ground = 28.5 degrees celcius1.5m above ground = 29.8 degrees celciusDay 215cm above ground = 30.7 degrees celcius1.5m above ground = 30.1 degrees celciusPhysical descriptionSome shade from tree, stone ground with steps leading down to canteen

Site D (Terraces)Day 115 cm above ground = 32.8 degrees celcius1.5m above ground = 32.3 degrees celciusDay 215cm above ground = 29.5 degrees celcius1.5m above ground = 29.4 degrees celciusPhysical descriptionGravel floor, steps, some shade from trees

Site E (Field)Day 115 cm above ground = 31.5 degrees celcius1.5m above ground = 31 degrees celciusDay 215cm above ground = 29.9 degrees celcius1.5m above ground = 30.1 degrees celciusPhysical descriptionGrass, open field with no shade

Site F (Running Track)Day 115cm above ground = 34.8 degrees celcius1.5m above ground = 34 degrees celciusDay 215cm above ground = 29.1 degrees celcius1.5m above ground = 29.8 degrees celciusPhysical descriptionWith sunlight, tarmac surface

Site G (Fountain Area outside General OfficeDay 115cm above ground = 29.1 degrees celcius1.5m above ground = 29.8 degrees celciusDay 215cm above ground = 28.4 degrees celcius1.5m above ground = 28.3 degrees celciusPhysical descriptionStone floor, presence of water and fountain

Concrete Surfaces -A, C, D and G

Other Surfaces - B,E and F

Concrete Surfaces

Day/Site A C D G

1 34.2/32 28.5/29.8 32.8/32.3 29.1/29.8

2 28/28.9 30.7/30.1 29.5/29.4 28.4/28.3

Non-Concrete Surfaces

Day/Site B E F

1 33/32 31.5 29.9

2 28.6/28.5 30.1 29.8

Average of Concrete surfacesDay 1 =31.5 degrees CelsiusDay 2 =29.15 degrees Celsius

Average of Non-Concrete SurfacesDay 1 = 31.4 degrees CelsiusDay 2 = 29.5 degrees Celsius

Conclusion: The type of surfaces doesn't really affect the temperature
