Activity: “A Day of Temperature Decisions” 

Story Time!

Jordan is going through a busy day where understanding temperature is very important.

In the morning, Jordan checks an online weather report from another country that says the temperature will be 86°F. Jordan wants to know how warm this will feel in degrees Celsius before choosing what clothes to wear.

Later, Jordan plans to bake cookies using a recipe from the internet. The recipe says the oven should be set to 350°F, but Jordan’s oven uses degrees Celsius, so the temperature needs to be converted correctly.

In the afternoon, Jordan works on a science experiment that must be carried out at exactly 25°C. The laboratory thermometer, however, shows temperature in degrees Fahrenheit, so Jordan must decide what reading to look for.

At home, Jordan checks the refrigerator, which should be kept at 4°C for safe food storage. The refrigerator display shows the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit, and Jordan needs to check if it is set correctly.

In the evening, Jordan adjusts the air conditioner to save energy. The user manual recommends setting it to 24°C, but the remote control displays temperature in Fahrenheit.
