In this activity, students will learn how to read a Celsius-scale thermometer, associate weather conditions and seasons with Celsius temperature ranges, and keep a record of temperature. Students will read the Celsius temperature each day and discuss how given temperatures "feel". They record the temperature by using a string of beads and a chart.

This
series
of
activities
demonstrates
some
effects
of
rising
levels
of
greenhouse
gases
on
climate.
Specifically,
it
shows
how
an
increase
of
heat-trapping
gases
in
the
atmosphere
raises
temperatures;
higher
temperatures
affect
the
water
cycle,
and
rising
sea
levels
could
affect
coastal
areas
as
a
result
of
glacial
and
polar
ice
melt.

A
learning
activity
for
the
Scoop
on
Soils
book
in
the
Elementary
GLOBE
Series.
Each
student
will
make
predictions
about
the
properties
of
various
soil
samples.
Then
they
will
examine
several
types
of
soils
and
record
their
observations.
Next,
they
will
learn
about
soil
profiles
and
horizons
by
both
examining
a
soil
sample
in
a
jar
and
by
creating
a
soil
profile
flip
chart.

One
of

Students
will
use
various
objects
in
the
classroom
to
experiment
with
nonstandard
measurement.
They
will
make
estimates
and
test
them
out.
Then,
working
in
pairs
or
small
groups,
students
will
use
a
ruler
or
a

tape
to
become
familiar
with
how
to
use
these

or
on
other
student-generated
topics
