Curated OER
Fahrenheit vs Celsius
Learners make a thermometer and write a paragraph about how they did it.
Curated OER
Measurement
First graders participate in various activities dealing with measurement, length, volume, and temperature. They identify the need for standard units of measure, sort and classify objects, measure distances, and use a thermometer.
Curated OER
Plot! Analyze! Draw your Conclusions!
Learners download data reported from the Global Sun Temperature Project website. They graph and analyze the data looking for trends and patterns. They prepare a class report with their observations and post it to the website.
Curated OER
Class Final Report - Global Sun Temperature Project
Learners reflect on the data they have analyzed during the Global Sun Temperature Project. They use the project website as a resource for their observations, draft a class report and post it on the Internet.
Curated OER
C. B. Atlas Animations: Temperature Experiments
Students investigate cooling rates of shallow and deep water, analyze Chesapeake Bay temperature information, and interpret effects of temperature variations on living organisms.
Curated OER
Going Through A Phase
Students are introduced to remote sensing equipment used to gather information about the moon. They learn basic facts about the moon such as size, landforms, temperature and gravitational influence on the earth's tides.
Curated OER
Molecules And Temperature
Students explain that molecules are in everything living and nonliving. They explain that molecules are too small to see but we can watch their movement.
Curated OER
Temperature Changes Everything
Students determine the effect of temperature on the motion of particles.
Curated OER
Taking In The Heat
Students discover that different textured materials can absorb more heat than others. Students work with thermometers, clocks, and graphs.
Curated OER
Temperature and Solubility
Students experiment to see how the solubility of a solid changes as water temperature changes. They graph the results of the solubility tests.
Curated OER
A Real Difference
Fifth graders use the Celsius and Fahrenheit thermometers to compare temperature readings. They use the Internet to find the temperatures of selected cities. After data is collected for five days, 5th graders graph the temperatures.
Curated OER
Specific Heat and Insulation - Temperature Changes
Students expand their knowledge of how temperature changes between air and soil. They also examine how natural grass cover insulates the effects of the sun's direct radiation.
Curated OER
How Hot Is It?
Fourth graders practice estimating temperatures. They practice in Celsius and Fahrenheit.
Curated OER
Temperature Stories
Students create a story that matches the provided temperature data. They use graphed temperatures as the plot for their creative writing story.

Middle School Chemistry: Air: It's Really There
Investigation shows that gas takes up space and has mass, and that the motion of gas molecules is affected by heating and cooling.
American Chemical Society
Middle School Chemistry: Temperature and Density
Observe how heating and cooling affect the density of water. Combine the concepts of temperature, molecular motion, and density to learn that hot water is less dense than room temperature water and that cold water is more dense.
