Measuring Temperature - Cold and Hot
Lesson idea. A teacher-led inquiry into how hot or cold things are. Discussion is helped by having a large display to show a 'bar chart' of the temperature, thanks to a data logging device. This lesson introduces the idea of using numbers for how hot things are.
Teaching approach. This lesson involves the use of higher order questioning(ta) to engage pupils in an inquiry(ta) relating on how to record temperature and the use of sensors. (edit)
