Classroom Considerations
Before giving the learners the "Forensic Science Worksheet, Thermometers and Temperature Conversions," present and discuss the formulas for converting between Celsius, Fahrenheit, and Kelvin.
Pros
- Clever scaffolding builds learners' conceptual understanding of measurement
- Worksheets include explanations and plenty of practice
Cons
There is a mistake on the "Forensic Science Worksheet Metrics and Measurements," but it is easily fixed. The prefix deca is correctly spelled deka on the metric table. A second mistake on the Volume of a Rectangular Solid section is easily fixed by replacing the word area with volume in the directions for the practice problems.
