Notes from Ridge Station

Rowan kept a field journal at a mountain weather station. Each test began with a cool sample. Rowan placed one matching sample in sunlight and one under the station roof in shade. After 15 minutes, Rowan checked each one. The journal table shows what Rowan felt.

Day 1: Rock — sunlight: cool to warm; shade: cool to cool. Day 2: Soil — sunlight: cool to warm; shade: cool to cool. Day 3: Water — sunlight: cool to warm; shade: cool to cool.

Which sample did Rowan check on Day 2?
