Sun Times Project

Sun Times Project

Overview
Students will determine how proximity to the equator affects average daily temperature and hours of sunlight. Students record their daily temperature and hours of sunlight per day over a period of a week. After collecting the data, the class will then summit their data to an online database and compare and contrast their temperature and sunlight data with results from classes all over the globe.
