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.

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...

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.

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. 

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...

Youngsters compare the heat-holding abilities of three different cans by insulating two with different materials and measuring the temperature change of hot water over a 20-minute period. 

Assist your middle school class with one of the most inclusive weathering and erosion labs available. Individuals use sugar cubes and alka-seltzer to demonstrate the process of physical and chemical weathering. They sketch results...

Things are about to heat up in your classroom! A kinesthetic lesson asks learners to play the part of the gases in the earth's atmosphere and interact with the sun's radiation. The focus is to learn the impact of the increasing...

Learn about the two main temperature scales, Celsius and Fahrenheit, and how to convert temperature from one to another. View two conversion examples and a chart of typical temperatures, and use the conversion tool.

In this activity, students will collect data for a range of temperatures in units of Fahrenheit and Celsius, and develop a conversion formula for changing from one unit to the other.

In this activity, students learn how to convert measures of temperature between the three different scales - Fahrenheit, Celsius and Kelvin. The history and uses of each are very briefly explained as well.

Students practice estimating Celsius temperatures using a thermometer in this interactive web lesson. Boiling, freezing, and human body temperatures are used as benchmarks for estimating.

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

A number line comparing temperatures in Celsius and Fahrenheit.

In this activity, students represent and analyze climate data. They use linear regressions to understand the relationship between temperatures measured in the Fahrenheit and Celsius scales and examine conversion factors.

Enter either Fahrenheit or Celsius temperature for conversion.

Enter either Fahrenheit or Celsius temperature for conversion.

This activity explains what a fever is and how the immune system uses it to try and protect the body against germs. The students then explore temperature further by creating a model of a thermometer and completing a temperature...

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...

In this activity, students collect both Celsius and Fahrenheit temperature data for several water samples of varying temperatures. They use the data to find a conversion equation that will calculate the Fahrenheit temperature for any...

In this activity, students collect Celsius and Fahrenheit temperature data for various cities across the world. They develop and test a mathematical relationship between the two temperature scales.

In this activity, students learn to convert temperature readings on the Fahrenheit scale to temperature readings on the Celsius scale.

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.

Provides information about the distinction between heat and temperature, and allows you to check your understanding through exercises. The Kelvin, Fahrenheit, and Celsius temperatures are compared and discussed.
