.
Join schools from around the world as they try to figure out how
proximity to the equator affects average daily temperature and hours of sunlight
(There are over 90 schools currently registered from 5 continents!). In the past,
one school even won the Grand
Prize in their school science fair! Also, check these web
pages created by a class from:
Redland Middle School,
Woodbury Middle
School.
By participating in this project, you and your students will measure
the temperature, record the number of minutes of sunlight per day over
a predetermined week, and determine your global coordinates. You will then
post this information to this web site and compare and contrast the results
with classes from all over the world. Through these interactions, you will
develop relationships beyond science and math by comparing cultures through
messages posted in our Discussion Area. Ready

The language arts
component of this project was developed by Saint
