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.

In this activity, students will record the high/low temperature daily throughout the school year and observe the change over time (phenology). They will analyze the data monthly and make predictions about the temperature.

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

A demonstration in how a thermometer works, followed by students using real thermometers as they apply the scientific method.

Use a thermometer to measure the air temperature in several places around the school.

Join Tim and Johnny on their voyage to South Africa, but before they get there they need to make sure they understand the weather conditions. This interactive module helps you describe the weather, learn about basic forecasting and how...

In this activity, students calculate temperatures during a time in the geologic record when rapid warming occurred using a well known method called 'leaf-margin analysis.' Students determine the percentage of the species that have leaves...

Learn about the tools meteorologist use to predict changes in the weather patterns. Understand how these tools help them give us an accurate forecast.

This rubric is appropriate to use with older students. It features a way for students to self-assess by drawing a line on the thermometer. Teachers could also assess using the same thermometer rubric.

Use this site to find out about temperature and how to read a thermometer.

Students learn about the difference between temperature and thermal energy. They build a thermometer using simple materials and develop their own scale for measuring temperature. They compare their thermometer to a commercial...

In this activity, students investigate the relationship between temperature and number of cricket chirps. They learn to find the other value of a function when given one value of a function. Students use linear regression and plot a set...

Some common items that help save lives every day or make lives a little easier are compliments of NASA technologies. This article features ten of these developments

In this lesson plan students learn how to use a thermometer and compare changes in temperature using water in the fridge and water in the freezer. Helps students create charts to analyze data.

Use this online activity to explore how various substances respond to changes in temperature. Learn how to calibrate a thermometer.

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...

Use this online activity to explore how various substances respond to changes in temperature. Learn how to calibrate a thermometer.

A long-term project lesson plan where students observe seasonal changes by recording observations and data of the weather conditions. Students will understand how to use a light meter, thermometer, anemometer, and rain gauge with this...

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...

Students explore whether rooftop gardens are a viable option for combating the urban heat island effect. Can rooftop gardens reduce the temperature inside and outside houses? Teams each design and construct two model buildings using foam...

This unit contains a series of lessons that allow students to explore the effect of sunlight on Earth's natural surfaces of sand, soil, rock, and water. In addition, students explore how the color and material of a surface affects how...

The Mathematics templates here support a Grade 11 Math text used in Nova Scotia. There is an assortment of blackline masters ranging from Celsius thermometers and Canadian coins to fraction circles and number lines. Many of the templates...
