We will collect data and then construct graphs using the data.
We will measure:We will measure:
TemperatureTemperature
Wind speedWind speed
Amount of rainfallAmount of rainfall
We will graph the following:We will graph the following:
Bar graph of average temperature of each Bar graph of average temperature of each monthmonth
Line graph of anemometer readings (wind Line graph of anemometer readings (wind speed)speed)
