Tracking Temperature

Bundle up to stay warm! A fun-filled investigation opens with a group discussion about heat loss and using materials to prevent it. Young scientists then view an animation about thermometers and the Celsius scale and practice reading...

Get your class outside to observe their surroundings with a lesson highlighting weather patterns and seasonal changes. First, learners take a weather walk to survey how the weather affects animals, people, plants, and trees during...

A printable weather station that will blow you away, this includes tools that little meteorologists can use to display their observations of daily weather conditions. There is a gauge where they can slide a pointer to show the...

Students understand that temperatures in Alaska can be negative numbers. In this temperature lesson, students recognize the temperatures above and below zero. Students compare temperatures using the greater than and less than signs....

Young scientists from any region can take a scientific journey and be exposed to weather changes that include rain and snow.

Students explore temperature and use Celcius thermometers to measure and graph the temperature in the classroom daily. They estimate what they think the temperature might be and then find the actual temperature in the room.

Students explore hot, warm, and cold. In this temperature lesson, students use thermometers to find specific temperatures. Students also consider how colored items absorb heat as they participate in a demonstration.

Young scholars use a thermometer to observe differences in temperature. In this measurement lesson, students use a thermometer to observe the differences in temperature that occur in a refrigerator and a freezer.

Observe how a change in temperature affects the volume of water in a bottle.

In this activity, learners explore the behavior of cold-blooded animals by observing what happens when they change a fly's temperature.
