Which heats and cools faster: land or water? How can we make this question into a statement of purpose for our lab?

Research/Prior Knowledge What do we already know?

Hypothesis (If. . . then statement that makes a prediction about the question)

Analysis CREATE A GRAPH WITH YOUR DATA AND STAPLE TO YOUR WORK What happened? What do the data suggest?

Conclusion Did the data support my hypothesis?

Heating Land & Water Lab • Heat equator = AKA “thermal equator” a set of locations encircling the Earth having the highest mean (average) annual temperature. • Specific heat = energy required to raise the temperature of 1 unit of mass by 1 degree • Radiative balance = balance of heat energy flowing into Earth’s atmosphere & leaving into space • Isotherm = line on a map that shows areas of equal temperature
