In Lesson 2, we are going to learn about temperature. Here are our I Can statements:
How hot or cold is the weather?
Weather can be hot or cold. Temperature is how hot or cold something is. You can
measure temperature with a thermometer. A thermometer is a measurement tool.
The numbers show the temperature. The red line is made of mercury. The red line
goes up as the air gets warmer. The red line goes down as the air gets cooler.
Let's take a look at Lesson 2 Vocabulary.

Watch the video below and listen for some weather words we have talked about!
- I can observe freezing and melting of water.
- I can measure the heating or cooling of water, air, and soil.
- I can recognize that a liquid may turn into a solid when frozen and A solid may turn into a liquid when heated.
- I can use appropriate tools to test and measure water’s weight, texture, temperature or size (e.g., compare measurements of water before and after freezing).
- I can explain that temperature changes modify the state of water.

Make Your Own Weather
We have learned that temperature is measured by a thermometer. As
the mercury in the thermometer rises, the temperature is getting hotter. As the
mercury goes down, it is getting colder. Now, you get to make your own weather.
Click on the link below and move the mercury on the thermometer up and down.
What is the weather doing at each of the different temperatures?
