Content Introduction Locations and Descriptions Data Collected Analysis Conclusion

Introduction Aim: To find out the factors affecting the difference in temperature. Hypothesis: Concrete areas are hotter than non-concrete areas.

Locations and Descriptions Location A: Top floor of Multi-storey Carpark o Description:  Day 1: Sunny, a little windy, no cover  Day 2: Sunny, no wind, cloud cover

Location and Descriptions Location B: Garden outside printing room o Descriptions:  Day 1: covered with plants, windy, no cover  Day 2: covered with plants, windy, no cover

Location and Descriptions Location C: Open space between canteen and Block o Descriptions:  Day 1: shady, concrete, windy  Day 2: shady, concrete, no wind

Location and Descriptions Location D: Terraces o Descriptions:  Day 1: very windy, cloud cover, open  Day 2: very windy, cloud cover, quite sunny

Location and Descriptions Location E: Field o Descriptions:  Day 1: grass covered, cloud cover, windy, open  Day 2: grass covered, no cover, windy, open

Location and Descriptions Location F: Running Track o Descriptions:  Day 1: rubbery, cloud cover, less wind, open  Day 2: rubbery, no cover, windy, open

Location and Descriptions Location G: Fountain area outside General Office o Descriptions:  Day 1: windy, cloud cover, open  Day 2: sunny, a little windy

Data Collection (Day 1) SitesTemperature (Degree Celsius) 15cm above ground1.5m above ground A (MSCP) B (Garden) C (Between Canteen & Block C ) D (Terraces) E (Field) F (Running Track) G (Fountain)

Data Collection (Day 2) Sites Temperature (Degree Celsius) 15cm above ground1.5m above ground A (MSCP) B (Garden) C (Between Canteen & Block C ) D (Terraces) E (Field) F (Running Track) G (Fountain)

Analysis Concrete areas Non-Concrete areas Area A (MSCP)-30.2 Area B (Garden) Area C (Open Space)-30.9 Area E (Field) Area D (Terraces)-29.7 Area F (Running Area G (Fountain Area) Track) Average: Average: 30.07

Conclusion Due to the fact that concrete is better conductor of heat compared to rubber and grass, concrete areas would be hotter than Non-Concrete areas. Our hypothesis was accepted.
