Mathematical Analysis of Temperature Scales

For Teachers 6th - 10th
Students use the point-slope formula to determine the relationship between the Celsius and Fahrenheit scales of temperature. They use a graphing calculator to determine the slope of the line between two points in each scale.

Plotting Temperature and Altitude

For Teachers 10th - 12th
students convert the temperature readings from degrees Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit. they predict and create a graph of what the graph of altitude (x-axis) versus temperature in degrees Fahrenheit (y-axis) might look like.
