For the Temperature Project

Step by step directions:

1. Pick two cities, and record their temperature for Monday through Friday.

2.  Explain why the temperature is different in the two cities throughout the week.

3.  For each city, suggest an appropriate activity for one of the days in the week.

4. Then write two word problems using the information you gathered. 

5. See if you can figure out how to make a graph with the temperature information!

6. That is all.  :)
