The Hypothesis

Concrete floor is generally hotter than non-concrete areas.

What we have done...

-Check the temperatures of surrounding areas

-Plot it into a Graph-Analyze the data

A- Top floor of Multistorey Carpark

Temperature at 1.5m above ground: 27.1

B- Garden outside printing centre

Temperature at 1.5m above ground: 27.3

C- Open space between canteen and Block CTemperature at 1.5m above ground: 26.6

D- Terraces

Temperature at 1.5m above ground: 26.1

E- Field

Temperature at 1.5m above ground: 26.5

F- Running Track

Temperature at 1.5m above ground: 26.7

G- Fountain area outside General OfficeTemperature at 1.5m above ground: 26.8

Counter-hypothesis

Concrete surfaces are not definitely hotter than non-concrete surfaces.
