Geography Project

1. Geography Project by: Kung Xue En (15) Cheng Wan Li (06) Ryan Kang (22) Zachary Chu (08)

2. Content • Introduction • Locations and Descriptions • Data Collected • Analysis • Conclusion

3. Introduction Aim: To find out the factors affecting the difference in temperature. Hypothesis: Concrete areas are hotter than non-concrete areas.

4. Locations and Descriptions • Location A: Top floor of Multi-storey Carpark • Description: • Day 1: Sunny, a little windy, no cover • Day 2: Sunny, no wind, cloud cover

5. Location and Descriptions • Location B: Garden outside printing room • Descriptions: • Day 1: covered with plants, windy, no cover • Day 2: covered with plants, windy, no cover

6. Location and Descriptions • Location C: Open space between canteen and Block • Descriptions: • Day 1: shady, concrete, windy • Day 2: shady, concrete, no wind

7. Location and Descriptions • Location D: Terraces • Descriptions: • Day 1: very windy, cloud cover, open • Day 2: very windy, cloud cover, quite sunny

8. Location and Descriptions • Location E: Field • Descriptions: • Day 1: grass covered, cloud cover, windy, open • Day 2: grass covered, no cover, windy, open

9. Location and Descriptions • Location F: Running Track • Descriptions: • Day 1: rubbery, cloud cover, less wind, open • Day 2: rubbery, no cover, windy, open

10. Location and Descriptions • Location G: Fountain area outside General Office • Descriptions: • Day 1: windy, cloud cover, open • Day 2: sunny, a little windy

11. Data Collection (Day 1)

12. Data Collection (Day 2)

13. Analysis Concrete areas Non-Concrete areas Area A (MSCP)-30.2 Area B (Garden)-30.05 Area C (Open Space)-30.9 Area E (Field)-30.1 Area D (Terraces)-29.7 Area F (Running Area G (Fountain Area)-30.15 Track)-30.05 Average: 30.24 Average: 30.07

14. Conclusion Due to the fact that concrete is better conductor of heat compared to rubber and grass, concrete areas would be hotter than Non-Concrete areas. Our hypothesis was accepted.
