Question

mr. browns students formed two groups. each group put a thermometer in a place of their choice outside in the schoolyard. the groups measured the temperature at each location for four days at the same time each day. they recorded their data and then collaborated to make a class chart. here is their class data.
class temperature data
day location 1 temperature location 2 temperature
1 47°f (8.3°c) 49°f (9.4°c)
2 53°f (11.7°c) 54°f (12.2°c)
3 55°f (12.8°c) 57°f (13.9°c)
4 49°f (9.4°c) 52°f (11.1°c)
match each statement with the correct location.
location 1
location 2
both locations
had the lowest temperatures for four days.
location in more direct sunshine.
used a thermometer to measure temperature.
made observations.
may have measured temperature in the shade.
had the highest temperatures for four days.

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze lowest temperatures

For Location 1, temperatures are 47°F, 53°F, 55°F, 49°F. For Location 2, temperatures are 49°F, 54°F, 57°F, 52°F. Location 1 has the lowest overall temperatures over the four - day period.

Step2: Analyze direct sunshine

Locations in more direct sunshine usually have higher temperatures. Location 2 has higher overall temperatures, so it is likely in more direct sunshine.

Step3: Identify thermometer use

Both locations used a thermometer as they measured and recorded temperatures.

Step4: Analyze shade temperatures

Location 2 has higher temperatures which may not be in shade. Location 1 has lower temperatures and may have measured temperature in the shade.

Step5: Analyze highest temperatures

Location 2 has higher temperatures (57°F is the highest among all readings) so it had the highest temperatures for four days.

Answer:

• Had the lowest temperatures for four days: Location 1
• Location in more direct sunshine: Location 2
• Used a thermometer to measure temperature: Both Locations
• Made observations: Both Locations
• May have measured temperature in the shade: Location 1
• Had the highest temperatures for four days: Location 2
