Take two glasses of water. Measure the temperature using a thermometer under the guidance of your teacher. Record your readings.
Students will measure the initial temperature of water in two glasses using a thermometer under teacher's guidance.
Both glasses should show similar initial temperature readings, which will serve as the baseline for comparison.
Explanation
This is the first step of an activity to understand how shade affects temperature. Students measure the initial temperature of water before placing the glasses in different locations.
Solution Steps
Take two glasses of water for the experiment
Use a thermometer to measure the initial temperature of water in both glasses
Take readings under teacher's guidance and supervision
Record both temperature readings
Ensure both glasses show similar initial temperatures to establish a baseline for comparison
