SCIE-6663S-1 Exploring the Earth and Beyond

=Hi Group 1 Members!,= = = =Don't forget to log in by Tuesday of this week to share your temperatures.= = = =Edie=

Collect temperature data at your current location between the hours of 11:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. Measure the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit, as well as Celsius. Complete one temperature reading directly in the sun, and then take another reading in the shade. Make note of any relevant variables that may be affecting the temperature (such as cloudiness, precipitation, wind, elevation, proximity to water, etc.). The following table can be used to maintain your notes for this Discussion.
