Reflections:

From the experiment, I learnt that the recording of temperature can be affected by things such as:

-The number of times the door is opened.
-The height which the thermometer was placed at
-The direction which the sun was facing.
-Whether the window was opened or not.
-Whether the thermometer was placed outside or inside the house.
-The time of the day which the temperature was being recorded.

During the period of 14 days which we were supposed to record the temperatures, there were some days which I almost forgot to do so. Most of the time, I would remember only at night. I do not think that my recordings are 100% accurate as my thermometer had a little problem. For the maximum temperature, the mercury split halfway and I always had to minus off that part from my recording. It is also not accurate as I only open the door a few times per day. Therefore, the record of temperature at the place I live at in not very accurate.

My reflection on Temperature recording

My thermometer is placed at my front door. I think it is quite troublesome to record it has i keep forgetting to record everyday. However, through this experiment, I have found out the temperature range for houses around Singapore. There are many variables that can affect the accuracy of our results. One such variable is the number is times our front door is opened. If it is opened frequently, breeze will enter the house leading to a drop in temperature. Another variable is the level of our homes. The higher up you are, the cooler you will be as heat radiates from the ground. If your homes are facing the Sun, your house will be hotter than usual. From my results, i can conclude that Singapore has a small temperature range therefore, the temperature is relatively constant.
