Project Title: The Sun Times, The Global Sun/Temperature Project
Project Begin & End Dates: março e abril de 2004

Project Summary:
"How does your geographic location affect average daily temperature and
hours of sunlight?"
Classes from around the world record their local temperature and minutes
of sunlight per day over a week  and compare and contrast
their results with other schools to determine an answer.

Project Level: Basic

Curriculum Area: Language, Mathematics, Science, Technology
Technologies Used: Email, Web Based Discussion Forum
Project Sponsor: CIESE-Center for Improved Engineering & Science Ed

Full Project Description:
"How does proximity to the equator affect average daily temperature and
hours of sunlight?"
Join schools from around the world in this collaborative project as
students measure the local temperature and record the number of minutes of
sunlight per day over a specific week. This information, along with
latitude and longitude descriptors of the school location, is submitted to
the web site.  This data is then compiled into a database that the
students will use to compare and contrast their results with other
classes from all over the world.  Students then explore the relationships
between average temperature and amount of sunlight and proximity to the
equator.  Students' final reports are also posted on the project web site.
Students communicate with classes from all over the world and exchange
cultural information.

Objectives:
+ Students will measure the temperature, record the number of minutes of
sunlight per day over a predetermined week, and determine their global
coordinates.
+ Graph, analyze, compare and contrast the results with classes from all
over the world.
+ Develop relationships beyond science and math by comparing cultures
through E-mail posted in our Discussion Area.

Projeto Sol e Temperaturas

Verificar a influência desses fatores (luminosidade solar e temperatura) na cultura. Vamos estudar como a localização geográfica influencia a temperatura e a luminosidade de nossa região. As classes ao redor do mundo vão recolher dados sobre as temperaturas diárias e duração da iluminação do sol (duração do dia), durante uma semana e comparar e contrastar esses resultados com aqueles obtidos pelas outras escolas participantes, em diversos locais do mundo e então responder a questões sobre o tema.
Inscricões: até março de 2004
Atividades do projeto: medir e tabular temperaturas, estudar e comparar a duração do dia (luminosidade solar) para diferentes pontos sobre a Terra. Construir gráficos.
Tecnologias utilizadas: e-mail, discussão baseada em WEB e fórum
Objetivos: Verificar a influência desses fatores na cultura das comunidades estudadas
Áreas do Currículo: línguas, matemática, ciências e tecnologia
Número de classes no projeto: sem limites
Alunos participantes: de 8 a 18 anos
