Reading Thermometers - Math & Science Skill

There are 2 scales for measuring temperature ...... the Fahrenheit scale (F) and Celsius or centigrade scale (C).



Learning to read thermometers is an important science and math skill.



Making Learning Fun (www.makinglearningfun.com) has some adorable, free Temperature Cards that you can download. They are actually beyond adorable with a little penguin on each card! What a great way for children to practice this skill. Click on the link below.

Homeschool Creations has a great thermometer printout that the kids could use every day to record the temperature. She uses it as part of her homeschool morning board. The kids could first read a real thermometer or they could look up the day's temperature on the internet, then use the printout to record the temperature. Click on the link below.
