My science fair project is about how different roof colors affect the temperature inside a house. I chose this project because I live in Arizona, where it is very hot, and I wanted to see if the color of your roof really makes a big difference. After I collected my data, I learned that roof color does matter and light colored roofs kept the inside of a house cooler than dark colored roofs. This project is important because it can help people make smart choices about their roof color and possibly save them money on energy bills.
Your results must have been exciting for you. So glad you are interested in cooler homes.
I like the way you graphed your data. It communicates the increases in temperature well. Keep sciencing!
What a well-designed and executed study that is important for people living in the desert southwest. Your graphs and discussion of the results are presented clearly and are easy to understand, and the whole presentation is visually clean and inviting. Nice work!
