However, students should be able to read a thermometer and know a few common temperatures for comparison, such as freezing point of water, body temperature, and boiling point of water at sea level. On the Fahrenheit scale, freezing point of water is 32 degrees, body temperature is 98.6 degrees, and boiling point of water at sea level, is 212 degrees. On the Celsius scale, freezing point of water is 0 degrees, body temperature is 37 degrees, and boiling point of water at sea level is 100 degrees. Heat and Light 02 - Students will gather data about properties of heat and communicate observations. Students are asked to predict the results of heating either the screw head or eye.
Students explore the differential cooling effects of water and alcohol.
