Learners investigate the relationship between the Fahrenheit and Celsius temperature scales. Given two data points, they construct a linear function to describe the relationship, find the inverse of the function, and make observations...

Students read a thermometer in Celsius and Fahrenheit. In this thermometer reading lesson, students take the temperature in different situations and discuss the results with a partner.

Your young weather buffs use compositions and inverses of functions to convert between Celsius, Fahrenheit, and Kelvin degrees. Then they analyze possible compositions and whether they exist in the real-life context.

Using helium as an example of propane, physical science middle schoolers experiment with and graph the relationship between temperature and volume in gases. In a whole-class demonstration, they show how molecules behave under different...

Use this resource to present your number crunchers with how to write a constraint equation and to determine viable solutions. The price of an object limits the amount that can be purchased. The speed at which you walk limits the number...

For this everyday editing activity, students correct mistakes in a short paragraph about the "Iceman" mummy. The errors range from punctuation, capitalization, grammar, and spelling.

Which is colder -12 or -18? Temperature is natural real-world application of ordering rational numbers. It's also fun to talk about the lowest recorded temperature on Earth. Take the time to discuss this inquiry with your class. 

Before leaving her hotel, Polygon noticed that the temperature outside was 35 degrees Celsius. Does she need a jacket for the day? Assume a jacket is needed if the temperature is less than or equal to 50 degrees F.

Students explore materials engineering by modifying the material properties of water. Specifically, they use salt to lower the freezing point of water and test it by making ice cream. Using either a simple thermometer or a mechatronic...

Science Made Simple allows you to type in temperatures you want converted from one measurement scale to another.
