Thinking About the Question


How does the temperature in the outside air vary over a day?

You may have noticed that it is usually cooler when you leave for school in the morning than when you come home from school. Is this always true? When is the coldest and warmest time of the day? Is there a pattern? Your teacher will ask you to share your answers with the class.

You can use a temperature probe to find out the how temperatures vary throughout a day. You will monitor the outside temperature over two 24-hour periods.
