What Causes Irregular Temperature Patterns?
Students examine common trends in climate across the U.S. They identify the anomalies in hot-cold temperature differences in the U.S and locate them on the map using latitude and longitude coordinates.
Curated OER
Build Your Own Weather Station
Studens experiment with temperatures. In this science lesson, students make their own weather station by heating one bottle and keeping the water in another bottle at room temperature.
Curated OER
What is Temperature?
Young scholars study the effects of temperature and air expansion. In this temperature lesson, students discuss temperature and participate in a role play of low energy and high energy molecules. Young scholars then discuss their...
