Reflection (Kimberly Kiong 1-1)

TEMPERATURE RECORDING ACTIVITY
After the temperature recording activity, I have learnt some of the factors that can affect the temperature recorded. These factors include which storey we live on, the distance or direction of our house from the sun, the time of the day, the place where the thermometer is placed, the area or the part of Singapore we live at and the weather of the day the temperature was recorded. Not only have I learnt about the factors that affect the temperature recorded but also learnt how to read the minimum/maximum thermometer and that the temperature in Singapore is relatively constant. The weather is also about the same throughout the whole of Singapore as Singapore's land area is not very large. Overall, I found this activity fun and interesting as it allowed me to know the temperature range and average in my house.

Reflection (Gracia Lee 1-1)

Through the temperature-recording activity, I learnt that there are many factors that can affect the temperature taken at home.

The factors that can possibly affect the temperature recorded are:
  • which storey we live on
  • the amount of open space in the house
  • the direction of our house from the sun
  • the time of the day
  • the distance of our house from the sun
  • the overall type of weather for the day
  • where the thermometer is placed in the house
  • the different parts of Singapore that we live in
I felt that the activity was quite interesting because it allowed me to know the temperature and average temperature range in my house. I understood more about the topic and learnt how to read a min./max. thermometer. I also learnt that the temperature in Singapore is relatively constant.
