We asked “How does surface temperature change on the ground and in the shade.” So we went out and took surface temps at three different locations to see the variation in temps throughout the months.In our results we found that it does get colder closer to december. But for some reason the asphalt gets WAY cooler than the other areas. So in conclusion the hottest area is actual the coldest.

Hello students - I want to take this chance to say thank you for doing this study. I love data, and would have loved to see a table with all your observations. I really appreciate the graph added. Make sure you have your labels and units when you further this project!

Good job!
