You may want to follow-up with an experiment in which you take temperature measurements over vegetation covered surfaces and over asphalt covered surfaces. If you have a body of water near you and you believe it may be influencing your evening temperatures in some way, you may suggest that the class somehow obtain the water temperature to test your theory. Even if the initial theory is suspect, proceed with the follow-up experiments keeping in mind that fostering scientific inquiry rather than the search for correct answers is the ultimate goal. Ask the students to name their favorite. Maximum Minimum Range Table Graph Make up a list of air temperatures or have the students take another reading on another evening.
Students can graph the observations in the list above on a prepared graph template.
Students can reconstruct the observed list of temperatures for each student using only the graph the class made.
