We decided to investigate the possible cause of this problem and then began to ask: How does this affect the temperature around the school.
We started thinking about this topic after noticing temperature differences between different areas in the school, especially between the asphalt area and surrounding areas such as parks or green spaces. On hot summer days, we noticed that areas with flat asphalt appeared to be hotter, which sparked our curiosity to know the reason for these differences
