Uncomfortable because they are too cold?

The ideal temperatures are..

Classrooms and offices 18°c
Corridors, stairs and toilets 15°c

Use a thermometer to measure the temperatures in several places around the school and record your results on a plan of the school.

Colour those areas that are too cold - blue.
Colour those areas that are too hot - red.
Areas that are comfortable can be coloured green.

Tell your teacher which areas of the school you found were too hot or too cold.
Suggest what can be done to make these areas more comfortable.
