Curated OER
Understanding Celsius
Student read both Celsius and Fahrenheit temperatures on thermometers. They covert the temperatures and write poems to show understanding.
Curated OER
TEMPERATURE
Third graders read a thermometer accurately, 3rd graders accurately record daily high and low temperatures found on Netscape on a line graph.

Lab Safety Word Search
In this science worksheet, students locate and identify various vocabulary terms related to lab safety. There are 21 words/phrases located in the puzzle to find.
Curated OER
Keeping Warm
Fifth graders measure the temperature of water using a thermometer. They record the temperatures of water on a chart. Students use the temperature data to determine which materials are the best conductors of heat. They discuss their...

Computer Science: Temperature
Students conduct an experiment on heat transfer and how it works. They record the temperature in whatever environment is surrounding the container and run experiments that use at least two different ambient temperatures. Students...
Curated OER
Sunlight and Heat
Learners brainstorm about the sources of heat. They discuss that sunlight is one of those sources. Students complete a lab about cold water and warm water. They record the temperatures from each thermometer and discuss which container...
Curated OER
Weather Watchers
Students engage in this weather predicting lesson. They discover instrumentation used in the meteorological science. With this knowledge, they will create their own "low-tech" versions of weather instrumentation such as thermometers,...
Curated OER
Keep Cool
Students design an experiment to determine which type of container would be best to use to keep drinks cool on a hot day. Students test paper cups, styrofoam cups, and metal cans by filling them with ice water and they use a thermometer...
Curated OER
Today's Weather on Mars
Students investigate the temperature and wind data locally, nationally, and internationally and compare these conditions to those on Mars. Conclusions are drawn about the differences of these conditions and the causes for the variance...
Curated OER
Air-Plant Interaction
First graders observe, measure, and predict the growth of bean seedlings. They construct graphs of their findings after altering the temperature of the air for the seedlings. They deduct what would happen if the temperature was much lower.
Curated OER
Keeping Cool
Young scholars investigate the air conditioner units around the school. They chart the temperature by placing a thermometer in different situations and decide how to keep cool and save energy in the summer.
Curated OER
Meteorologists
Fourth graders investigate the work of a meteorologist and then take on the identity of one to make reports on clouds and temperature.
Curated OER
Fahrenheit vs Celsius
Students make a thermometer and write a paragraph about how they did it.
