Hot & Cold Temperature
Grade 2 Hot & Cold Temperature (2.9)
Hot & ColdHot & Cold French VersionHot and Cold Temperatures: 2.9.1, 2.9.3, 2.9.6, 2.9.7
Students practice and demonstrate their learning by completing a series of outcome based activities.
Describe temperature in relative terms, using expressions, such as hotter than, colder than: 2.9.1
Students sort the images into the proper columns the write a sentence using relative terms.
Measure temperature in degrees Celsius (°C).2.9.2
Students will use these digital thermometers to track temperature over several days.
Topic D: Hot and Cold Temperature
2.9.2 Measure temperature in degrees Celsius (°C).
This is a fun and simple code to measure temperature. You can demonstrate why having a PAUSE and CLEAR SCREEN block makes it work better. Put the Micro:bit in a freezer or take it outside and see how it will also show negative temperatures. See our Micro:bit pages.
Teacher/Student Resource Science: States of MatterDescribe how heating and cooling materials can often change them; e.g., melting and freezing, cooking, burning. 2.9.3
Students explore the states of matter and the vocabulary that accompanies changes of state and temperature.
Temperature Do's and Don'ts: 2.9.4
Students will create a safety poster that identifies how to safely handle hot or cold materials by identifying a potentially dangerous situation and advising how to handle it safely.
What is normal body temperature? What are the signs of being sick? 2.9.5
Animals Adapt to Cold Temperatures: 2.9.9
Students will identify how animals insulate themselves from cold by creating a slide show that describes these adaptations.
