Tomorrow, the students will be presenting their first report to families. Sara was checking the numbers when she saw a sudden rise in

The line climbed sharply at midnight, then returned to normal an hour later. It could not have been a heatwave; the other stations showed ordinary temperatures.

They climbed onto the roof with their teacher and checked the

The
sensora device that measures a changesensor
was working, but a bright security lamp stood beside it.
The lamp had been switched on for one hour during a late repair. Its heat must have affected the

The teacher agreed: the lamp was the only unusual change near the
stationequipment in one place for measuring weatherestación

The team marked that hour as

instead of deleting the number.
They added a note explaining the lamp and checked the rest of the week. Ben moved the
sensora device that measures a changesensor
farther from the lamp with the teacher’s help.
By tomorrow morning, they will have checked all the

During the presentation, Sara will be showing families the corrected chart. Ben will explain the strange hour and the

Sara had been nervous about admitting a problem in their first report. Now she saw that explaining a mistake could make the report more useful. By the end of the event, the class will have shared six months of careful work. The families may notice the unusual number, but they will also see its explanation. Next month, the team will be collecting data from a second
stationequipment in one place for measuring weatherestación
across town.
Sara hopes two sets of numbers will make future surprises easier to understand.
