Aim of the learning journey

A science note is careful. Dr Sen refuses to turn one hot afternoon into a law. The place is a city square. The work of the learning journey is to keep her limit.

Text written for this class

City lab note, 19 July, square Victor Hugo.

At 4 pm the stone in the sun measured 41 degrees. In the shade of the library door it was 34. The air temperature from the official station, two streets away, was 36. Dr Amina Sen, who wrote the note, says one afternoon does not prove a whole summer.

Two schools, Jean Moulin and Anne Frank, will have white roofs. The work starts on 6 October, not in July: the rooms are empty then. The paint is not a promise. Dr Sen wants a second measure on a hot day next July, at the same hour, on the same stone.

Until then, the library stays open as a cool room from 2 pm to 5 pm on orange-alert days. You may bring a bottle. You may not bring a hot plate. Dr Sen ends the note with the date of the next measure: a hot afternoon, next July, same stone, 4 pm.

Reading and questions

Three questions

What did the stone measure at 4 pm, what was the shade at the library door, and what was the official air temperature?
Which two schools will have white roofs, and why does the work start on 6 October rather than in July?
On an orange-alert day, when is the library a cool room, and what may you not bring?

Say it the way Dr Sen does: 'One afternoon does not prove…' That sentence is the science.
