PROCEDURE
1. No pronouns2. Verb (action word)
starts blurb3. Numbered steps4. Blurbs in order
needed to perform experiment
5. Measurements and quantity used or times performed included
6. Repeated steps refer to number and state “Repeat steps x through y” for experimental group z or control group
TO IDENTIFY THE SAMPLES:NOTE: Label a bin measuring measuring length = 50 cm; width=20 cm; height (depth)=10 cm either 0 cm, 2 cm, 4 cm, or 6 cm to identify the sample being tested
TO PREPARE A SAND BIN: 1. Measure to the center of the 50 cm longer length sides equal to 25 cm2. Tape a ruler at the 25 cm position on the length side3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for the second 50 cm length side NOTE: TAPE ALL
RULERS FACING THE SAME DIRECTION FOR EASY READING.4. Measure to the center of the 20 cm shorter width side equal to 10 cm5. Tape a ruler at the 10 cm position on the width side6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the second 20 cm width side7. Tape a ruler in each of the four corners of the bin8. Pour sand into the bin that now has 4 rulers taped to the sides and 4 rulers
in the corners9. Tape the bin gently on the table10. Repeat Steps 8 and 9 until the eight rulers measure 8 cm of sand in the 4
corners and center of 4 sides.11. Form a Center cross to find the approximate center by taping a string from
the width ruler to the width ruler and a string from the length to the length ruler. The intersection of the strings forming a cross will be the approximate center.

Procedure Continued
12. Insert a ruler into the center to verify 8 cm depth has been achieved. If 8 cm depth is not measured, repeat steps 8 through 11 until 8 cm depth is measured at the 8 rulers and the center cross position
13. Use a level to verify the surface is level at 8 cm depth THROUGHOUT the bin in no less than five positions in the four quadrants(corners and center of quadrants) and the center of the bin. If the sand is not level repeat steps 8 through 13 as needed to achieve level depth at 8 cm
TO SETUP RULER/THERMOMETERS14. Use a table as a flat surface and hold a thermometer with the fluid resting on the flat table. 15. Hold a plastic clear ruler resting flat on the table behind the thermometer so the
thermometer and ruler lines for units are clearly visible16. Without moving the ruler or thermometer from the flatness of the table, using clear tape,
secure the thermometer to the ruler. NOTE: The 0 degree line on the thermometer is above the 0 cm line on the ruler. This is enable the liquid in the thermometer to be below the sand and the ruler to be above the sand at 0 cm for the control group reading. And the weight of the walker at 0 cm is also given consideration with this design.

Procedure Continued17. Repeat steps 14 through 16 for four additional rulers. 18. Measure to the center of the four quadrants formed by the string.19. Insert a ruler/thermometer into the centers of the 4 quadrants to the
sample depth identified on the labeled bin.20. Insert the fifth ruler/thermometer at the cross formed by the string to the
sample depth identified on the labeled bin.TO SET UP THE SUNLAMP DISTANCE AND ANGLE FROM THE BIN:
21. Measure to the center of the sunlamp and mark with a dot made by an overhead marker
22. Measure 20 cm above the center (over the cross made by the strings) and hang the sunlamp center dot in a linear position to the cross string.
TO COMPLETE SETUP PROCEDURE:23. Repeat steps 1-22 to make 3 additional bins.

Procedure Continued
EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURE:24. Setup 4 bins into quadrants with 0 cm at first quadrant, 2
cm at second quadrant, 4 cm at third quadrant, and 6 cm at forth quadrant. NOTE: Temperature readings will be rotated clockwise starting at 0 cm bin and start at center then clockwise within the bins as well. REFER TO DATA TABLE
25. Turn on the four sun lamps26. Turn on timer and wait 30 minutes27. Starting at center 0 cm and rotating through temperature
taking order on data table check temperature every 30 min for 9 hours

There are 4 depth samples of 0 cm, 2 cm, 4 cm, and 6 cm There are 5 trail readings of temperature per sample for a total of 20 trials. 5 trials at 0 cm which is the control group.5 trails at 2 cm, 4 cm, and 6 cm which is 15 trials.
