We used several thermometers to measure the temperature inside the classroom, outside the classroom, and the table our s'mores were sitting on after 30 minutes of sun exposure.
The standards covered
SC.3.E.5.2
Identify the Sun as a star that emits energy some of it in the form of light.
SC.3.E.5.3
Recognize that the Sun appears large & bright because it is the closest
star to Earth.
SC.3.P.11.1
Investigate, observe, & explain that things that give off light often also
give off heat.
They love to dab!
When we first went outside, the temp was 89 degrees.
After sitting on this black table for 30 minutes the temp was up to 130 degrees!
