In the second experiment, students learned about dependent and independent variables, while exploring the relationship between surface color and temperature. After hypothesizing about the absorption rate of light and dark materials, students measured the increase in temperature at timed intervals. At the conclusion of the experiment, students graphed and documented the results of their findings.<\/p>\n<p>Tynes sixth graders are really starting to think like scientists!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/tynes-weather-experiments-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4596\" src=\"https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/tynes-weather-experiments-2-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"tynes-weather-experiments-2\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/tynes-weather-experiments-2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/tynes-weather-experiments-2.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/tynes-weather-experiments-3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4597\" src=\"https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/tynes-weather-experiments-3-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"tynes-weather-experiments-3\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/tynes-weather-experiments-3-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/tynes-weather-experiments-3.jpg 540w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/tynes-weather-experiments-4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4598\" src=\"https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/tynes-weather-experiments-4-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"tynes-weather-experiments-4\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/tynes-weather-experiments-4-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/tynes-weather-experiments-4-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/tynes-weather-experiments-4.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sixth grade students at Tynes Elementary School were fortunate to be taught two science lessons from a current science professor from Santiago Canyon College, Mrs&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":4595,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[1168],"tags":[57],"class_list":["post-4594","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-elementary-school","tag-tynes-elementary-school"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4594","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4594"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4594\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/4595"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4594"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4594"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4594"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
