Math in Science-Using Temperature Scales

Battle of the hemispheres? In the fourth installment of a five-part series, young oceanographers use the NOAA website to collect temperature data from drifters (buoys), one in the Northern Hemisphere and one in the Southern Hemisphere....

Develop a formula based upon numerical computations. The 31st part of a 33-part unit has the class determine the formula to convert a temperature in Celsius to a temperature in Fahrenheit. They do this by making comparisons between the...

Complete two conversions at once using compositions. Pupils use the conversion formulas for temperatures to calculate a formula to convert directly between Kelvin and Fahrenheit. Classmates determine the meanings of composition...

Three Dog Night isn't just the name of a band; it is also the way an Australian tribe, who used dogs to stay warm, would describe the temperature on a cool evening. After reading about many different ways of measuring temperature, the...

Scholars develop the conversion formulas between Fahrenheit and Celsius with a task that presents the class with two known temperature equivalents between the two scales. Pupils use those two points to develop the linear conversion...

If you're looking for a resource on temperature, you're getting warmer. By watching a short video, learners see how to convert a Celsius temperature to a Fahrenheit temperature. The resource also shows how to solve the conversion formula...

Sal teaches students how to convert a temperature in Fahrenheit to its equivalent temperature in Celsius. He is explicit and very clear, which is suitable for those needing additional assistance or exposure to a particular topic.

The Kelvin, Celsius and Fahrenheit temperature scales are discussed. Site lists and explains formulas for converting between the different scales.

Explore linear conversions using an engaging interactive lesson. Learners drag a point on a graph to discover the equivalent degrees in Fahrenheit and Celsius. Embedded questions highlight key features such as slope and the...

Use a cool resource for a hot topic. Pupils learn how to convert Fahrenheit to Celsius, and vice versa. An interactive helps show how to perform the conversions.
