Units for measuring the temperature

During the last science session students learnt about units for measuring the temperature: Centigrade and Fahrenheit. 1-We placed a graduated thermometer in class(contains both units C & F).Students recorded the temperature daily in both units. 2-Students surffed the net to find that countries like Germany,Russia,France,and United States are using Fahrenheit scale. 3- We learnt that 0 C = 32 F, 10 C = 50 F,and that water boils at 212 degree F and freezes at 32 degree F. 4- Finally students drew their own thermometers, and they graduated it in both units.

Thank you, Ms Namita Verma, for sharing...It's certainly a very long busy day! It's so interesting to get to know you and find out how you live together like family members. We are eager to learn how you play the "kho- kho" and "kabaddi" games. We don't play these games in our country. Why not sharing a new project about games? We love to try new games and have fun!
