Introducing Temperature Measurement
Students explore temperature and use Celcius thermometers to measure and graph the temperature in the classroom daily. They estimate what they think the temperature might be and then find the actual temperature in the room.
Curated OER
Understanding Celsius
Student read both Celsius and Fahrenheit temperatures on thermometers. They covert the temperatures and write poems to show understanding.
