Content• Introduction• Locations and Descriptions• Data Collected• Analysis• Conclusion

IntroductionAim: 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

AnalysisConcrete areas Non-Concrete

areasArea A (MSCP)-30.2 Area B

(Garden)-30.05Area C (Open Space)-30.9 Area E (Field)-30.1

Area D (Terraces)-29.7 Area F (Running

Area G (Fountain Area)-30.15 Track)-30.05

Average: 30.24 Average: 30.07

ConclusionDue 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.
