Look at the test

Listen to the Riverbend Dam Viewpoint notes. Use the graph to answer the questions.

The Binocular Stand Test

At Riverbend Dam Viewpoint, Jun's class made a small stand for pretend binoculars. A paper square showed the spot where a visitor would stand. The class tested three roofs over matching paper squares. Each square started at the same warmth. The squares stayed in the sunny place for 10 minutes. An adult counted warming marks after each test. More marks meant a warmer square.
