What children learn in Level 20
- Scientists start with a question, like: Is it warmer in the morning or in the afternoon?
- Next, pick the right tool. For temperature, that's a thermometer! Hang it outside in the shade.
- Measure at the same times every day, and write it down. Then look at your data for patterns.
- Your turn! Put the steps of an investigation in order.
- Try it with a grown-up! Check a thermometer every morning and afternoon for a week, and write it down.
Georgia Standards of Excellence in Science:
- S1E1.c — Plan and carry out investigations on current weather conditions by observing, measuring with simple weather instruments (thermometer, wind vane, rain gauge), and recording weather data (temperature, precipitation, sky conditions, and weather events) in a periodic journal, on a calendar, and graphically.
