  7. Measuring Temperature…Do you know? What is the boiling point of water in degrees Fahrenheit and Celsius? Water boils at 212 degrees Fahrenheit and 100 degrees Celsius.

  8. Temperature 32 degrees 0 degrees 212 degrees 100 degrees 68 degrees 20 degrees

  9. Cool Fact Crickets usually chirp more quickly when the temperature goes up and more slowly when the temperature decreases. What you can do… Count the number of chirps in 15 seconds, then add 37 to that number. The total will be roughly equal to the actual temperature in degrees in Fahrenheit.
