This document provides instructions for students to participate in an activity to measure temperature in different locations around their school. The purpose is to test the hypothesis that temperature is the same everywhere in the school. Students are divided into groups and assigned roles. They will use iPads and a data logger to record temperature readings at 6 sites over 50 minutes on August 30th. Students must follow safety procedures and upload their results to their group's Edmodo page.
