Thermal Station MATH 3.1: Thermal Systems in Health
Temperature Units and Coversions
- Module Goal: To measure and convert temperature units expressed as Fahrenheit and Celsius systems
- Materials Required: Computer with fast Internet connectivity
- Applied Objectives: In completing this unit, you will -
- Define temperature
- Compare measurements expressed in Fahrenheit and Celsius systems
- Apply formulas for converting temperature units
- Pre-requisite knowledge: 6th-grade reading level and arithmetic skills.
- Applied Terminology: All terminology for this module is covered in the PowerPoint presentation
- Evaluation: Projects submitted in this module will be evaluated by rubrics. A rubric is a table that shows you what you are being grade on. A rubric states exactly what is expected of you at different levels.
Reflect on What You Know
In Thermal Station 3.1, you learned about the body’s ideal temperatures and the mechanisms it has for thermoregulation. We deal with temperatures every day when we talk about the weather, baking dishes, or dealing with fever in our bodies. This module will help you work with measurements of temperature in two different systems.
Introduction to Temperature Measurements
We deal with temperatures every day when we talk about the weather, baking dishes, or dealing with fever in our bodies. This module will help you work with measurements of temperature in two different systems. Click on the PowerPoint Presentation below.
BEFORE YOU START – Print the following worksheets. You will fill out the Lesson Answer Sheet as you go through the presentation and are asked to complete practice problems. The second worksheet is to be completed for the “Review and Practice” at the end of the PowerPoint:
- Lesson Answer Sheet
- Fahrenheit, Celsius, and Conversions-Review and Practice
Now open the Mechanical Station MATH 3.1 PowerPoint presentation, Temperature Units and Conversions from the link below. Examine and reflect on the information on each slide and complete the activities. Turn in your handouts to your coach when you are done.
Temperature Units and Conversions
After you have completed the PowerPoint and all three worksheets, print out and complete the QUIZ.
