4. The air is not the same temperature in the sun and shade.
My Hypothesis
The air is not the same temperature in the sun and shade.

5. On the first data collection date and the third, the temperature in the sun was hotter while the temperature in the shade was cooler. On the second data collection date it changed. It was a cooler temperature in the sun and a hotter temperature in the shade.
