Key Stage 1
Meaning
Temperature is how hot or cold something is.
Key Stage 2
Meaning
Temperature is how hot or cold something is measured in degrees Celsius.
About Temperature
- A high temperature means something is hot and a low temperature means something is cold.
- Temperature is measured with a thermometer.
- The scientific units of temperature are degrees celsius.
Examples
 |
 |
| A freezer is kept at around -18°C temperature. | An oven can be set with a range of temperatures from 50°C to 300°C. |
 |
 |
| A fire can reach temperatures of 800°C | The temperature inside the body is kept at around 37 °C. |
