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.

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. 

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...

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.

This site from Suzy's World and Suzy Cato explores what a thermometer is and how it works. Content includes some fun facts, an experiment, and a classroom activity.

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...

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...

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.
