What is the baseline? Do we need a baseline or is it just about the temp change by adding the ammonium nitrate?

Hello Hindes and welcome to Science Buddies,

The term "baseline" usually refers to the state of the experiment before any experimental procedures have been applied.

You might find this guide helpful in thinking about "baseline" and "control" and "variables."
