Thermometer Readings

Worksheet Description

The “Temperature” worksheet presents a collection of thermometers with various temperatures indicated next to them, designed to teach preschoolers about temperature measurement. The worksheet includes a set of eight thermometers, each showing a different temperature in degrees Celsius, ranging from chilly 3°C to a warm 45°C. This range helps children understand the concept of temperature variation and the numerical representation of warmth and coldness.

The educational activity instructs children to color the mercury in each thermometer up to the level of the indicated temperature, providing a visual representation of numerical values and an understanding of how thermometers work. This task reinforces number recognition, introduces basic principles of science, and offers practice in fine motor skills as children work carefully to color within the lines. It’s a practical exercise that combines learning with creativity, allowing young learners to engage with a fundamental aspect of everyday life while using their artistic skills to fill in the worksheet. Through this activity, children will not only learn to identify different temperatures but also gain an appreciation for the tools used to measure them.
