When we were taking the temperature outside of the soil in the water, after the first reading, kids were very excited and noticed how the soil was rising in temperature, but the water wasn’t. They were having real exciting discussions with each other about what they noticed outside. The students enjoyed graphing the weather for the last month. They were excited that we had more than "Just another sunny day". They liked looking at the high level of the creek by the school and the lake that formed on the playground.
