Degrees of Difference

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is specifically designed for students to practice converting temperatures from Celsius to Fahrenheit. It features a list of twenty different Celsius temperatures, ranging from cold extremes like -25°C to warm temperatures such as 40°C. For each temperature listed, students are tasked with using the given formula F = C x 9/5 + 32 to calculate the equivalent Fahrenheit temperature and write the answer in the provided space.

“Degrees of Difference” aims to reinforce students’ understanding and application of the formula for converting Celsius temperatures into Fahrenheit. By systematically working through a variety of examples, students can become proficient in handling both negative and positive temperatures, which enhances their numerical and problem-solving skills. This exercise is not only about practicing calculations but also about understanding the relative warmth or coldness of temperatures in a different scale, which is crucial for scientific studies and everyday life. The worksheet encourages students to become comfortable with both temperature scales, facilitating their ease in navigating weather reports, cooking recipes, and science experiments internationally.
