    Mrs. Dempsey's Second Grade Class, Dunning School, Framingham, MA:

    We wanted to see what would happen if we planted some tulips in deep
    shade, where there is never any sun and in a sunny spot in the
    courtyard. We planted our control group over fifteen feet from outside
    the building, in a sunny spot. It was 78 degrees there that day. Then
    we planted a group in the shadiest spot in a corner near the building in
    the courtyard. It was 60 degrees there. The other micro climate
    control group was planted in a sunny spot, 15 feet from the building,
    inside the courtyard. It was 78 degrees in that spot at the time.

    Last year, our class also noticed a 20 degree difference in parts of the
    courtyard. This year we decided to experiment with sun and shade. Some
    children think the ones planted in deep shade will not grow at all.
