Thanks to the people at http://www.iscienceproject.com/ I have a set of HOBO data loggers to take and leave in Tajikistan with my partner school! We'll have our students do about three temperature monitoring experiments lasting around two weeks each. Each kit contains two loggers. So I was thinking of having a experiment where temperatures are taken every two hours. One time they could have one in shaded area, and one in open area. 2nd time, one on dark surface, one on light. 3rd setup would be having one in air, and one submerged in water (seeing how water temperature should be slower to change in water). First readings would be our daily zero point and the change ever two hours (our delta) would be the values and we can see if there is any correlation between our temperatures and theirs because we are both at around the same latitude.If you think you could find a project to do with your students, you can go to their website and sign up for a loaner for 2 months! You can earn them by submitting a lesson. I haven't looked, but I think they have 300 projects available. They are really nice bunch of people to work with! Check them out!
