St. John 's Academy (4th
Grade), Jamestown, ND, USA
We are the 4th grade from St. John 's
Academy in Jamestown, North Dakota in the USA.
We collected the data daily the first week of November during our lunch
hour using handheld thermometers and averaging the results. We obtained
the daily sun times from the Naval Observatory website.
We graphed the results from 20 locations and found a direct relationship
between latitude and length of days. We didn't see a strong relationship
between latitude and temperature. We felt that being near the water also
affected the temperature.
We had to learn latitude and longitude before we could participate in this
project. It helped making learning that more fun! Every class should do
this!
We had unusually cold weather that week and were surprised to see that we
were colder than Alaska.
