Let’s be honest, us humans made a huge mistake. For hundreds of years, we produced billions of cars, and we didn’t care about the pollution done by cars! With every fossil fuel powered engine we are just making our lovely planet worse. Therefore, we need to act soon and start using cleaner cars.

The Impact of Surface Material on Temperature Variations

submitted by San Gwann Primary : Class Year 6.1  for 11-14
campaign: YRE Entry
dissemination(s): On GLOBE website, other, school media
filed under Articles
awarded: Finalist

Year 6.1 took part in the GLOBE Program to gather surface temperature data. We used a handheld Helect Infrared Thermometer to record the heat of the surface of 5 different sites within the school. We chose 5 different sites which have different types of surfaces. One site is soil and grass in the shade; one has soil and grass in the sun; one has cement which is in the school yard and one has asphalt which is in the main road in front of our school. We collected data for 5 days for 3 months. We did December, January and February. We took 9 different readings of each site. We wrote all data on a sheet, then we inputted all the data on the GLOBE site. The aim of this research is to understand how different surfaces radiate energy. We discovered that temperature on natural surfaces like soil is cooler, especially with wet grass. The highest temperature we recorded was on asphalt. In the end we wrote this report.
