The results of activity one were about what I expected. The dirt increased in temperature fastest because of its dark color and water did slowly because of its high heat index. dirt was a little off because it had been sitting in the sun before hand.
The same thing happened with the bottles. the clouds reflected the sunlight back causing temperatures to be lower and the dark color of the dirt absorbed the heat lowering the rate at which the air heated up while the reflective whiter color of the sand reflected light into the air
These tests can help to show how the climate works on a larger scale by giving us insight into the way different types of soil and land areas can cause the air to heat and cool.
