Weather and Climate Field Work presentation By: Noel Lee Tham Yi Rei Ashton Yin Su Gao Yang

Objectives ●To Measure the temperatures of different environments in school ●To test out the hypothesis - whether concrete surface has a higher temperature or other surfaces

Statistics A-Top Floor of Multistorey Carpark B-Garden outside printing centre C-Open space between canteen and Block C D-Terraces E-Running track G-Fountain area outside General Office

Ranking of the areas Rankinggroup rankingclass ranking 1aa 2ff 3cd 4ee 5dc 6fg 7gb

Ranking in the areas much of our results were different, mainly because of the time we went there, the presence of wind, direction of sun. etc.

Hypothesis Based on our tables of results, we established a hypothesis The surface of the ground at a specific location affects the temperature there, mainly, at concrete surfaces

Measuring 0f temperatures

Site A (Multistorey Carpark) Day 1 15cm above ground = 34.2 degrees celcius 1.5m above ground = 32 degrees celcius Day 2 15cm above ground = 28 degrees celcius 1.5m above ground = 28.9 degrees celcius Physical description Concrete floor, cars parked, no shade

Site B(Garden outside printing centre) Day 1 15cm above ground = 33 degrees celcius 1.5m above ground = 32 degrees celcius Day 2 15cm above ground = 28.6 degrees celcius 1.5m above ground = 28.5 degrees celcius Physical description Shade from tree, grass, little sunlight

Site C (Open Space between Canteen and Block C) Day 1 15cm above ground = 28.5 degrees celcius 1.5m above ground = 29.8 degrees celcius Day 2 15cm above ground = 30.7 degrees celcius 1.5m above ground = 30.1 degrees celcius Physical description Some shade from tree, stone ground with steps leading down to canteen

Site D (Terraces) Day 1 15 cm above ground = 32.8 degrees celcius 1.5m above ground = 32.3 degrees celcius Day 2 15cm above ground = 29.5 degrees celcius 1.5m above ground = 29.4 degrees celcius Physical description Gravel floor, steps, some shade from trees

Site E (Field) Day 1 15 cm above ground = 31.5 degrees celcius 1.5m above ground = 31 degrees celcius Day 2 15cm above ground = 29.9 degrees celcius 1.5m above ground = 30.1 degrees celcius Physical description Grass, open field with no shade

Site F (Running Track) Day 1 15cm above ground = 34.8 degrees celcius 1.5m above ground = 34 degrees celcius Day 2 15cm above ground = 29.1 degrees celcius 1.5m above ground = 29.8 degrees celcius Physical description With sunlight, tarmac surface

Site G (Fountain Area outside General Office Day 1 15cm above ground = 29.1 degrees celcius 1.5m above ground = 29.8 degrees celcius Day 2 15cm above ground = 28.4 degrees celcius 1.5m above ground = 28.3 degrees celcius Physical description Stone floor, presence of water and fountain

Concrete Surfaces -A, C, D and G

Other Surfaces - B,E and F

Concrete Surfaces Day/SiteACDG 134.2/3228.5/ / / / / / /28.3

Non-Concrete Surfaces Day/SiteBEF 133/ /

Average of Concrete surfaces Day 1 =31.5 degrees Celsius Day 2 =29.15 degrees Celsius

Average of Non-Concrete Surfaces Day 1 = 31.4 degrees Celsius Day 2 = 29.5 degrees Celsius

Conclusion: The type of surfaces doesn't really affect the temperature

Thank you! the end
