Learners compare and contrast the two measurement scales of Fahrenheit and Celsius. They calculate the temperature using both measurements. Students demonstrate their comprehension of these systems by creating a dual-system thermometer...

Third graders solve Celsius and Fahrenheit conversion problems, watch weather forecast and convert temperatures to Celsius, and design and present their own weather forecasts for different regions based on information gathered from...

In this metric system worksheet, students complete notes on measurements used in the metric system, the metric system prefixes and estimates of measurements of length in centimeters.

Ninth graders investigate biological systems. They summarize relationships between systems. Students determine how systems relate within the biosphere. They analyze the carbon cycle.

Students listen to lecture on metric system, make vocabulary book containing at least fifteen related terms, measure length, mass, and volume using appropriate metric units, and measure temperature using Celsius scale.

In this solar system worksheet, students fill in 21 blanks with words from a word bank at the top of the page. They include information about the solar system, terrestrial planets, gaseous planets, and planetoids.

In this measurement worksheet, learners use the list of commonly used prefixes in the metric system to write each of the given equivalences for mass measurement. Then they state the names of each of the listed units on the sheet.

In this temperature scales learning exercise, students are given the equations to convert from Fahrenheit to Celsius and from Celsius to Fahrenheit. They apply to equations and convert given temperatures.

Students examine how the human immune system responds to germs and explain what a fever is. They design a thermometer in order to further explore temperature before completing a temperature conversion worksheet. They detail the work of...

Students explore biome data. In this world geography and weather data analysis lesson, students record data about weather conditions in North Carolina, Las Vegas, and Brazil. Students convert Fahrenheit degrees to Celsius degrees and use...

Students identify the most appropriate metric prefix to use. They describe the usefulness of a system based on tens. Students compare the metric system to the American system of measurement. They develop a metric flip book to use a...

Fahrenheit? Celsius? What's the difference, and where did these two temperature scales originate? Your pupils will learn all about these topics by reading the passage included here. After reading, individuals respond to five questions...

In this solar system worksheet, students complete a database comparing the 9 different planets' mass, surface temperature, rotation period, orbital period, moons, and distinguishing features. This worksheet is a graphic organizer.

In this equilibrium instructional activity, students perform a computer simulation on vapor pressure of water at different temperatures to answer 11 problem solving and short answer questions about the topic.

The presentation covers Fahrenheit, Celsius, and Kelvin scales for temperature as well as conduction, convection, and radiation.

Students work with thermometers to complete problems about temperature. They investigate cooling patterns, how location affects temperature, and what happens when water having different temperature is mixed. They measure temperature in...

Students answer the question, What is temperature?  In this temperature lesson, students use hot chocolate and ice cubes to measure temperature with a thermometer (Fahrenheit and Celsius). This lesson includes a student activity...

High schoolers explore the recent research on dinosaurs.  In this dinosaur lesson plan students write a report on the new findings and how it has changed ideas on dinosaurs. 

In this temperature conversions worksheet, students are given the equations to convert from one unit of temperature to the other. They solve four problems using these equations.

Sea explorers and scientists have found that because of temperatures being two to three degrees Celsius at the bottom of the ocean, most animals are lethargic in order to conserve energy. In this web quest, pairs of learners read about...

Students engage in a study about the planets and create a poster as one of the projects during the study. They create individual charts for mapping the solar system so the locations can be found in mock space missions to other planets.

Students use the metric system to convert equations. They use a conversion table to change from metric units to the units they are more comfortable with (Fahrenheit temperatures, miles, quarts, pounds.) Students use algebraic equations...

We use basic units of measurement to break down things and communicate clearly. The first lesson in an 11-part series teaches the proper way to measure various items. It starts simply with measuring the dimensions and areas of geometric...

For this science worksheet, students draw several markings on a ruler or graduated cylinder or thermometer to get each of the correct measurements. Then they state what place the marking indicates and the number of significant figures in...
