Make your own Temperature Scale

·  Complete the data table using the conversions listed on the bottom of this paper

·  Label your thermometers with temperatures for boiling water, freezing water and room temperature

·  Color your thermometers to represent cold temperatures and warm temperatures

·  Answer the questions below the data table

Celsius Scale / Fahrenheit Scale / Student Scale
Freezing water / 0
Boiling water / 100
Room Temp / 70
Freezer Temp. / 20
Sauna Temp. / 110

Celsius to Fahrenheit = (Celsius Temp. X 1.8) + 32

Fahrenheit to Celsius = (Fahrenheit Temp. – 32) X 0.55

2. What is temperature? In a different temperature scale called the Kelvin scale, there is a temperature called “Absolute Zero”. What do you think absolute zero refers to? Do you think that temperature has ever been reached?
