Graphs for the Global Sun Temperature Project

1.    What was our problem?
2.    What was our hypothesis?
3.    What do you expect to see on the graphs we would make from the data?


You can click here to see the data that formed the graphs.

4.    Look for patterns.  What patterns do you see in each graph?
       Sunlight graph ?
       Temperature graph ?
5.    Pick a location.
       Do you think the temperature would be higher or lower than it is at our school? Why?
6.    Why do you think temperatures vary at different latitudes? (Your answer will be a
       hypothesis.)
7.    At which latitudes are number of sunlight hours greatest? Why?
8.    At which latitudes are number of sunlight hours least? Why?
9.    Is there a relationship between the number of sunlight hours and latitude?
10.  How important was accuracy of measurement in this experiment?
11.  Would you change anything if you could repeat this experiment?
12.  Write a conclusion. (What did we learn? How did we interpret the results? What would we do differently next time?)
