10/10 metric temperature

In-Class:
We reviewed the scientific method packets in class and students received credit for the work completed.

Students received a conversion worksheet that gives the equation for converting back and forth between degrees Celsius and degrees Fahrenheit. We also discussed standard temperature readings for boiling point of water, freezing point of water, room temperature, and body temperature in both Fahrenheit and Celsius. Students should know how to convert between Celsius and Fahrenheit but what is more important is that they can identify whether the number given is reasonable.
Homework:
Hours 1,2,4 and 6 complete the six conversion problems from the worksheet. We completed at least two examples in class. All classes should memorize the standard temperatures.
