Sixth graders observed cloud cover and measured the air and surface temperatures two hours before and two hours after the solar eclipse on April 8, 2024. Students took three surface area temperature readings at each time interval with an infrared thermometer from three locations on the soccer field. The average of the three surface temperature readings was recorded at each interval. The air temperature data was collected at the onsite weather station at St. John's Episcopal School.
