This is an 8th Grade Science class.
This project was made to analyze data and to draw a conclusion. We used the scientific method. We were supposed to discover the relationship between a school’s latitude and its temperature and minutes of sunlight. After gathering data, we hypothesized that the closer a school is to the equator , the higher the temperature and the more sunlight that school must have. In conducting the experiment, we collected San Antonio’s temperature and sunlight for five days. We also learned how to down load data from the internet directly into a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet and to make a chart from that data. Our analysis lead us to conclude that the schools closest to the equator had higher temperatures and more sunlight. Schools farther away from the equator had lower temperatures and less sunlight.
