Students make a thermometer and write a paragraph about how they did it.

Third graders make predictions about weather and utilize weather instruments and weather reports. They match weather components with weather instruments, and demonstrate how to read a thermometer. Students also construct and use a wind...

Third graders read a thermometer with accuracy, record observations and data, and infer conceptual meaning. They integrate mathematical charting and graphing skills to organize their data. They explore what happens when they touch or use...

Fourth graders determine the amount of energy required to melt ice using a calorimeter. They calculate the Molar Heat of Fusion of Ice.

Fourth graders discuss, describe and track weather by utilizing a variety of measurable quantities as temperature, wind speed, wind direction, cloud conditions and precipitation. They assess, through experiments and practicing, how to...

Students investigate stimulus-response behavior, learned behavior in animals and innate behavior in animals. In this animal behavior lesson plan, students answer questions about their reactions to a toy cap gun that is fired off in...

Students explore the observable properties of matter and utilize them in classification. They use a binary classification system to divide objects, then justify their scheme.

Learners measure humidity in the classroom. For this weather lesson, students use a psychrometer to measure the humidity in the classroom. Learners complete a lab packet.

Students compare the energy value of traditional foods eaten by indigenous people with those of modern commercial foods. They use a calorimeter to measure and calculate the amount of stored energy in various food types, and identify the...

Learners determine the heat of fusion of ice. In this heat of fusion lesson plan, students use a calorimeter to measure the molar heat of fusion of ice. Learners determine the heat required to melt one mole of ice using hot water and ice...

Fifth graders use a real life scenario of the wetlands to gather information on creatures of the habitat.  In this wetlands instructional activity, 5th graders research the interdependence of organisms in a healthy habitat. Students...

Students explore the concept of temperature. In this temperature lesson, students read thermometers in degrees Celsius. Students discuss the temperature of the seasons and what clothing they might wear given a certain temperature....

Students identify the differences and similarities between doctors for humans and veterinarians. Students draw a pet's visit to the veterinarian's office and a person's visit to a doctor's office. Students describe exactly what they have...

In this science worksheet, students answer 12 questions about Fahrenheit temperatures. Students also record the temperature of their school in the afternoon and morning.

Take some notes on integers! Learners can use the number line and thermometer provided along the bottom and side of the page to help visualize and understand positive and negative numbers.

Catapult the class into the test. Released items from the free-response section of the 2006 AP® Statistics exam ask individuals to use statistics to figure out the best catapult for determining the accuracy of thermometers. The six...

Third graders read a Fahrenheit thermometer from an actual thermometer. In groups, they are provided with ink pads and a thermometer stamp. They use the stamps on plain white paper and use red pencil to take the temperature readings.

Students place words describing a range from cold to hot on a scale. Using those words, they identify places on Earth which are cold, hot, freezing or boiling. They practice using and reading a thermometer with three different beakers...

Students 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...

In this subtracting integers on a number line practice worksheet, students sharpen their problem solving skills as they solve 6 story problems.

Student read both Celsius and Fahrenheit temperatures on thermometers. They covert the temperatures and write poems to show understanding.

Students keep detailed weather records during the spring migration of the monarch butterfly. To keep track of the weather, students utilyze weather reports and instuments such as anemometers, compasses, thermometers and rain gauges.

Students participate in a variety of mini-lessons including experiments, literature readings, physical education components, music, data gathering and recording and more to expose them to several themes of weather; i.e. water cycle,...

For this temperature worksheet, students solve 4 problems in which students study a picture of a seasonal activity. Students color the thermometer to show what the temperature might be and write the temperature on the line.
