Comparing Temperature

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is centered around the theme of comparing temperatures using pairs of thermometers. Each pair includes two thermometers, one showing a temperature in Celsius and the other in Fahrenheit. The students are instructed to compare the temperatures shown on each pair of thermometers and check the box under the one that indicates a warmer temperature. The worksheet contains several pairs of thermometers, each set at different temperatures, providing multiple opportunities for comparison.

The worksheet is designed to teach students how to read and compare temperatures across two different measurement scales: Celsius and Fahrenheit. It introduces the concept of temperature comparison, which is fundamental to understanding weather, science, and everyday temperature references. The activity reinforces the skill of reading thermometers, a practical life skill, and familiarizes students with the two most commonly used temperature scales. Moreover, it indirectly introduces the concept of temperature conversion, as students compare values between the two scales.
