Effects of Temperature, Deviation on Climate
Students collect and record data for a given city. They calculate standard deviation of temperature and analyze the impact of climate changes on a city's and culture.
Curated OER
Predicting Temperature: An Internet/Excel Learning Experience
Third graders use the Internet (www.weather.com) to find the high temperature for our locale and the high temperature for another city around the world. They keep track of the temperature in these two locations for 10 days.
Curated OER
What Is The temperature?
Students use a thermometer to measure temperature changes. They measure temperatures indoors and out, and graph the information.
Curated OER
When You're Hot, You're Hot!
Eighth graders examine the development of the different temperature scales. They experiment with hot and cold temperatures.
Curated OER
"Show Me" Missouri's Temperatures
Fourth graders gather climate data about cities from each of Missouri's five geographical regions and use technological tools to translate this data into graphs for further analysis and reflection.
Curated OER
Air Temperature and Kinetic Energy
Students use a NASA website do activities which help them better explain how air temperature and kinetic energy are related to aircraft propulsion.
Curated OER
Introducing Temperature Measurement
Students read a thermometer, associate weather conditions and seasons with temperature changes and keep a record of daily temperature.
Curated OER
Learning About Temperature Is Cool!
Students estimate and compare temperature using degrees Celsius and Fahrenheit, and create mini temperature posters and answer questions about temperature.

The Urban Heat Island Effect - Lesson 2 (Grades 8-9)
Students use the scientific process to show that when various surfaces are exposed to similar environmental conditions, surface temperatures may vary. They examine the "urban heat island" phenomenon and analyze why it increases energy...
Curated OER
Hot Foot
Young scholars investigate temperature and its possible effect on living things. They predict, measure, record and compare air and sand at different beach locations. They examine plant and animal adaptations in the same habitat.
Curated OER
Technology of the Deep: Experiments with Buoyant Forces
Students conduct a series of experiments to study the effects of temperature and salinity on the buoyancy of an object in water. They devise ways to make floating and sinking objects neutrally buoyant.
Curated OER
How to Read a Thermometer
Learners' temperature is measured using an instrument called a thermometer.
Curated OER
Does the Sun Influence the Temperature of the Earth?
Students explore whether the sun influences the temperature of the earth.
Curated OER
Solar Energy
Young scholars find out where on campus is the most reliable and/or the strongest energy, record outside temperature and temperature inside the solar box during each week, and participate in discussion questions and make generalizations.
Curated OER
The Lake Effect
Fourth graders conduct an experiment demonstrating the effects of water and air temperature on precipitation. They create graphs demonstrating their findings using Claris Works for Kids.
Curated OER
Standard Deviation
Students find city temperatures and analyze their means to find the standard deviation. They calculate the standard deviation of monthly temperature means.
Curated OER
Weather
Students describe the weather and temperature in the city, state, and/or country in which they live during the 4 seasons.
