Grid references are used to describe where a feature is on a map. These can be given in four or six figure grid references: 4 figure grid reference = read the two numbers along the bottom (bottom left number) and two numbers up the side (bottom number) e.g. the information centre is in grid (03,62) 6 figure grid references are more accurate. You imagine you split each grid into 100 tiny squares. You still use the original numbers from the 4 figure grid reference but leave a space for the measurement in tenths e.g. information centre is in grid (032,627) Your fieldwork investigation Hypothesis or aim: How does temperature vary across the school site?
