Students compare the colloquial definition of temperature with the scientific definition. They, in groups, then explore the changes of water under different temperatures and calculate and compare their findings on three different...

Fourth graders participate in a teacher-led discussion about temperature--hot and cold. Each group of students is assigned specific materials for their lab experiment. They record temperatures measured in their journals and then plot...

Pupils work with thermometers to complete problems about temperature. They investigate cooling patterns, how location affects temperature, and what happens when water having different temperature is mixed. They measure temperature in...

Students explore and analyze atmospheric conditions for a high mountain retreat. They examine the relationship between altitude, atmospheric pressure, temperature and humidity at a particular location. In addition, they write reports...

Young scholars study the formulas for calculating heat energy and how to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit. They apply the formulas on a worksheet.

Young scientists explore Earth elements by conducting an experiment. They define water vocabulary terms such as condensation and precipitation. In addition, they conduct a water experiment in which they build a terrarium, so they can...

In this images of the sun worksheet, high schoolers read about the images released by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory and they solve 3 problems using the given photograph of the sun. Students find the scale of the image, they compare...

Fourth graders, in groups, examine how temperature is a measure of the average translational kinetic energy.

Students explain and understand the circulation of air in the atmosphere. They identify that energy can be carried from one place to another by heat flow or by waves, including water, light and sound waves, or by moving objects. ...

The article explains temperature. Specifically, you will learn about the temperature scale, temperature scale conversions, and the types of instruments used to measure temperature. Included are solved examples and interactive problems...

An Internet project designed to determine the greatest influence on the boiling point. After reading the project instructions and performing the experiment, submit your data and compare your results to other classes from around the world.

Rain and dull clouds, windy blue skies, cold snow, and sticky heat? This site helps students learn more about weather and what causes it to change.
