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
