Explains the origin of the Fahrenheit temperature scale.

A large collection of worksheets, of increasing difficulty levels, for reading a thermometer in both Centigrade and Fahrenheit degrees.

Use this interactive tutorial to introduce students to the concepts of temperature and thermometers.

An interactive thermometer shows temperature in both Celsius and Fahrenheit and "translates" the temperature you choose into real life situations, like "Fun in the Snow," "Nice Sunny Day," or "Boiling Water."

Read about the history of how the Fahrenheit temperature scale was invented, and the man who invented it, Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit. Includes an audio recording of this radio program episode.

Information about reading and comparing temperature in Fahrenheit and Celsius.

Graphic compares boiling point, freezing point, and absolute zero for the Fahrenheit and Celsius scales.

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.

The difference between heat and temperature is explained, followed by a discussion of temperature and its relation to global climate change. Gallileo Galilee, Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit, Anders Celsius, and Carl Linnaeus are mentioned in...

This site from the University Corporation of Atmospheric Research provides a lengthy page covering numerous topics including the difference between heat and temperature, the use of different temperature scales, thermal expansion, how a...

Using thermometers, students will compare differences in the temperature of various materials and locations. They will record and chart the data that was collected and present the graphs to their classmates.

A chart that will help you quickly make rough conversions between the Fahrenheit and Celsius temperature scales. It also contains formulas to make more exact conversions.

See the relationship between Celsius, Fahrenheit and Kelvin scales with this interactive activity.

This article explores the Fahrenheit and Celsius temperature scales. It lists their boiling and freezing points, and conversion from one to the other.

Animated interactive teaches young researchers about scales and devices used to measure temperature.
