The Year 4's investigate temperature and thermometers.

We are looking at the maths and number when looking at temperature and the thermometer.

We had to use our skip counting in 2's to read the temperature.

When we put the thermometer in hot water the mercury increased to over 90 degrees celcius.

The temperature in the freezer dropped to -4 degrees.


What do you notice?  What do you wonder?
Look at the actual temperature, 11.8.  It is a decimal.  11 whole numbers and 8 tenths.  This means the temperature is more than 11 degrees but not quite 12 degrees.  How much will the temperature drop overnight?
