Temperature - What does it matter? Teehee!

Today we will dive into the world of temperature.  The temperature of matter really has to do with how much particles the are moving, and therefore how much heat they are giving off.

To start, we will watch three experiments that highlight the affects of heat on matter.








Next, we will read an article about how thermometers work.

Temperature - Brain Pop

Next class, we will watch a video and read an article to gain a better understanding of temperature.  Then we'll take a look at different types of thermometers, what they are used for, how they are made and how they work.  Let's begin! Choose one of the following types of thermometers and tell me more about it. Start by organizing your paper to research using the "Cornell Method".



Next, choose a thermometer you will teach us about.  You can use books, websites and videos on websites to gain a better understanding.  You will be telling us about the thermometer and what it does.  What are some good questions to asking when starting your research? Let's brainstorm together.
