Procedure of Gathering Data

The major process that will be conducted is measuring the temperature of

each color of shirt before and after being exposed to heat. Before doing the

experiment, the researcher will first make the green house container box:

Definition of Terms

Absorption- the process of taking something into another substance.

Air Permeability- specific surface of a powder material is a single-parameter measurement of

the fineness of the powder. The specific surface is derived from the resistance to flow of air (or

some other gas) through a porous bed of the powder. The SI units are m. kg −1 ("mass specific

surface") or m.
Capacity- The ability to receive, hold, or absorb something.

Coco coir- is a natural fibre extracted from the husk of coconut ]and used in products such as

floor mats, doormats, brushes and mattresses.

Collate- to gather or arrange in their proper sequence.

Exposure- the act of exposing, laying open, or uncovering; the sudden exposure of objects that
were hidden.

Greenhouse- a greenhouse is a structure with walls and roof made chiefly of transparent
material, such as glass.

Hypothesis- (plural hypotheses) is a proposed explanation for phenomenon.

Methodology- is the systematic, theoretical analysis of the methods applied to a field of study.
It comprises the theoretical analysis of the body of methods and principles associated with a
branch of knowledge.

Multiple time series design- a type of quasi experimental design where a series of periodic
measurements is taken from two groups of test units. (An experimental group and control).
The experiment group is exposed to a treatment and then another series of periodic
measurements is taken from both group.

One way repeated measures ANOVA- an anova with repeated measures is used to compare
three or more group means where participants are the same in each other group.

Opted- to make a choice, especially on one thing or possibly instead of others.

Polyester- is a synthetic fiber derived from coal, air, water, and petroleum. Developed in a

20th-century laboratory, polyester fibers are formed from a chemical reaction between an

acid and alcohol.

Polypropylene- is a thermoplastic polymer used in a wide variety of applications including

packaging and labeling, textiles, stationery, plastic parts and reusable containers.

Shade- is a hue or color with black (or any other darker color) that mixed to it. This creates a
darker version or darker tone to it. You can have more one shade of a color, depending on
how much has been mixed to it. The opposite to a shade is a tint.

Significant difference- is a result that's not attributed to a chance. More technically, it means
that if the null hypothesis is true (which means there’s no really significant difference), there’s
a low probability of getting a result that large or larger.

Thermal energy- is the energy that comes from heat. This heat is generated by the movement
of tiny particles within an object. The faster that these particle move, the more heat is
generated.

Thermal insulator- is something that prevents heat from moving from one place to another.

Thermal resistance- is a heat property and a measurement of a temperature difference by

which an object or material resists a heat flow.

Utterly- completely and without qualification.

Variance- is a measure of how far each value in the data set is from the mean; the fact or
quality of being different, divergent or inconsistent.

Water vapor permeability- is a measure of the passage of water vapor

Wickability- The property of a fiber that allows moisture to move rapidly along the fiber

surface and pass quickly through the fabric.
