(F/C) || Variables Affecting Temperature || I took the temperature out my window and under a tree. || 72 F 22 C || 69 F 20.5 C || The shade definitely affected the temperature. Today was a clear, breezy day. I used my classroom digital thermometer to take the readings at 1:30 p.m. || I measured the temperature next to my house (in the sun) and along a tree line (in the shade) || 53.5 F 12 C || 52 F 10.5 C || Today was a clear day but the winds were southerly (coming directly off the Northumberland Strait) || I measured the temperature around my school. The sunny measurement was taken in full sun on the south side of the building. The shady temperature was taken in full shade along the north side of the building. These measurements were recorded at 11:54 am. || 52 F 11 C || 43 F 2 C || Today was a clear day but windy ahead of a cold front coming in. || I am teaching the Weather unit and today my class started our weather graph. We went to a local website to find the current temperature at 2 p.m. and the wind speed. || 78F 26C 78F 26C || 66F 18C || Today was clear and breezy, north winds of 13 mph, very few clouds. 11/9 - 12:00 p.m. The other 2nd grade teacher attached a thermometer on a tree in the shade so that students could compare the temperatures in sunlight versus shade. The day was sunny with a mild breeze. || I involved my students in this since we are beginning our weather unit shortly. We placed our thermometers (one in full sun, one in shade) out this morning and checked them at 11:49 a.m. || 82F/28C || 60F/16C || Today was a beautiful day in upstate South Carolina. Clear skies, no clouds, and unseasonably warm. Surprised at the vast difference between the sun and shade. Hypothesizing that perhaps setting the thermometers out in the a.m. affected the reading, especially that of the thermometer in the sun. || My students check the temperature three times a day (morning, after lunch, and before we go home). Since it was raining today we were unable to check the temperature in the sun. || N/A || 64F/18C || Today was a rainy day. We noticed that this morning when we took the temperature before it started raining that it was warmer. Then when it started to rain the temperature dropped. ||

 * Amy Booth || Hanover PA || 64F/18C || 58F/14C || Unseasonably warm weather these past few days; sunny with no clouds. Used a mercury thermometer; placed on top of a wood pile for the sun reading and on top of another wood pile under a spruce tree for the shade reading. Both wood piles are approximately the same height; the wood pile in the sun also receives shade, but the wood pile in the shade is always shaded. Readings taken at approximately 12:30PM on 11/8/11. ||
