Final Report: December, 2002

This is Shanghai American School Pudong campus reporting from Shanghai, China. We are grade 6B out of two sixth grade classes in Pudong. We are doing this project out of Mr. Bister’s science class. Shanghai has a latitude of 31.21 degrees north and a longitude of 121.2 degrees east.

During this project we measured the temperature and daylight minutes. We measured the temperature with a thermometer, and Mr. Bister got the day light times for each day to calculate the daylight per minutes.

Some places are hotter then others because they are closer to the equator then others, and because of opposite seasons in opposite hemispheres. We sat down as a class and recorded information on ten schools each and graphed our results.

We learned how to find out how to measure the temperature and how to measure the day light per minutes. We think that this project was awesome and we won’t change a thing!
