Appendix B Procedures: 1. First, select the target area that passes through the green park, field, shady area, classroom and parking lot. 2. Draw a map of the selected areas. 3. On the route decide five stop where we are able to take measurement. 4. Place the temperature, humidity and light sensor inside radiation shield 5. Then, attach the radiation shield to the top end of the pole. 6. Turn on the discovery. 7. Take the reading of humidity, light and temperature of the selected areas. 8. Transfer the data from the discovery to computer. Discussion: 1. Study the result that you obtain: i) Which area has high temperature, light intensity and humidity? ii) Which area has low temperature, light intensity and humidity? 2. The abiotic components give effect to the environment. Reason out.

Enhance Pulau Tiga is one of the biggest island in Sabah. It was formed because of the exploded of volcanoes. The mud volcanoes are rich of nutrient that can smoothen and lighten of our skin. Mud is rich of sulphur that can kill bacteria at our body.

What are the abiotic component that can make people are suitable for mud bath?
