1.Record her observation with the time it was hot.
2. Gather info about the pavement and its surroundings. Find out what it's made of and what its temp. is at different times of the day.
3. Come up with a hypothesis about why it is hot.
4. Design an experiment to test the hypothesis. If she thinks the Sun is responsible (which she should b smart enough to know), keep it covered during the day time and check it's temp.
5. Come up with a conclusion. If her hypothesis is not supported, design a new experiment or gather more info.
