Two students want to sit outside in a place that is coolest from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. One student thinks a shady spot with be cooler, but the other student thinks a sunny spot will be just as cool. How could they use two thermometers to find out?
Compare the temperatures of the shady spot and a classroom from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. and record the data.
Compare the temperatures of the sunny spot and a classroom from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. and record the data.

When the Moon comes up it absorbs the slide's heat.
When the Sun goes down it stops warming the slide.
When the stars come out they absorb the slide's heat.
When the wind blows it reflects the heat from the slide.
