HypothesisPlaces with more shade have lower temperatures and places without shade have higher temperatures.

Data

Analysis
• For both days, the average temperature of the areas with shade is lower than the average temperature of the areas without shade, as can be seen from the table.
Sites/Day
Sites with shade A, B and G (average temperature)
Sites without shadeC, D, E, F(average temperature)
1 28.9 degrees C 31.5 degrees C
2 30.1 degrees C 32.3 degrees C

• Hypothesis supported
• Site D has unusually low temperature on Day 1. The temperature of Day 2 for Site D is about 2 degree C higher than the temperature of Day 1.
• The temperature of Day 2 for the different sites is also generally higher than the temperature for Day 1.
• This may be because of cloud cover and other factors. There were a lot of clouds on Day 1 but less clouds on Day 2.
Analysis

• Presence of clouds changes quite quickly at times, affecting temperature and hence the accuracy of results.
• Forgot the exact spot we took temperature during the first round, therefore the places we took the temperature during the second round differed, causing results to be a bit unreliable and inaccurate.
• Too quick in taking temperature and forgot to wait for temperature to stabilize before taking down the data.
• People’s shadow blocking the thermometer at times.
Problems and Challenges
![Page 8: Microclimate Study Leom Sheng Teng(13),Tan Zhong Yi(21), Jovan Lee(09), Caleb Low(16) 2i2](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022082506/56649cce5503460f949992c3/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
• Readings taken at the same places but on two different days may cause the results to be affected, as wind speed and cloud cover will differ.
• In order to take accurate readings, we must wait for the temperature to stabilize first before recording down data
• We should take more readings so that our results can be more reliable. We will then be able to check on our results to confirm that it is accurate.

• What is the actual name of the instrument we used?
• Does amount of surrounding vegetation (eg. garden vs track) affect the ambient temperature?
