Compare 3 Temperatures

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is an educational tool for teaching temperature comparison. It features three sets of three thermometers each, labeled A, B, and C, with different levels of mercury indicating varying temperatures in Celsius. The students’ task is to assess the temperatures shown and place them in order from coldest to warmest for each set. To complete the activity, students must identify which thermometer shows the coldest and warmest temperature in each group and mark the corresponding boxes.

The worksheet is aimed at teaching students how to read thermometers and understand the concept of temperature as a measurable and comparable quantity. It enhances students’ abilities to observe and compare numerical values visually, which is a key skill in both science and mathematics. By determining which temperature is the coldest and which is the warmest, students learn to order numbers based on their magnitude. This task also aids in developing critical thinking skills as they analyze each set of temperatures to establish the correct sequence.
