Comment on this resource
This on-line project is part of the Center for Improved Engineering and Science Education (CIESE) program, which has developed internet activities for the elementary, middle, and high school level student. Students measure the temperature, record the number of minutes of sunlight per day over a predetermined week, and determine their global coordinates. Each class then posts their data to this web site to compare and contrast results with classes from all over the world, thus learning how proximity to the equator affects average daily temperature and hours of sunlight. The project provides instructions, data links, reference materials, on-line help, and a teacher area for help and ideas.
