Living Thermometer

Here is part two of a two-part instructional activity in which scholars investigate the changing states of water—liquid, solid, and gas—and how energy from heat changes its molecules. With grand conversation, two demonstrations, and one...

Do you eat more when you are hot or when you are cold? Young scientists observe the eating pace of two caterpillars at different temperatures. The differences in endotherm and ecotherm animals' ability to adjust to temperature change...

Students investigate how crickets behave in cold temperatures. For this life science lesson, students explain the beneficial and harmful effect of pests. They research ways to properly manage them.

A cricket as a thermometer? Yes, that's right. In this science fair project, you'll investigate how the chirps of these tiny creatures can do more than lull you to sleep-they can tell you the temperature.

Learners explore and experience information about temperature changes by using crickets' chirps to calculate the temperature. The data is applied to formula and the temperatures are calculated.

Students conduct an experiment to determine the relationship between pressure and temperature. In this physical science lesson plan, students collect data and graph them. They compare the results of Celsius and Fahrenheit data sheets.

Learners explore using crickets' chirps to calculate temperature. They read "Cricket in Times Square" and "The Quiet Cricket," read and discuss a Cricket eBook, develop a formula and calculate temperature using cricket chirps, and graph...

Students examine the attributes of crickets. In this arthropods lesson, students observe crickets and sketch and label their parts. Students respond to questions regarding their observations.

Pupils participate in a handboiler experiment, using a sealed glass vial filled with alcohol. They record the data and do averages and see if there is a difference between a boiler and a non-boiler.

Students view a video clip about the effects of El Nino. They work together to develop a question about weather folklore. They participate in an experiment that tests their hypothesis.
