1. Purpose : Precisely measure the temperature of different beakers of water. Research : Discussed the steps to taking precise measurements. Talked about using thermometers safely. Hypothesis : Will the beakers of water be close in temperature or very different in temperature? A Matter of Degrees

2. Experiment : Materials: Procedure: Thermometer, 3 Beakers, Water, Ice, Hot Plate, Paper Towels (1) Allow the thermometer to measure the room temperature before beginning the investigation. ( 2) Place the thermometer inside the first beaker. Wait for the liquid in the thermometer to stop moving before you record the temperature. Record the temperature on the activity sheet. ( 3) Repeat step (2) with the other beakers. ( 4) Fill in the thermometers on the activity sheet to reflect the temperature that was recorded. A Matter of Degrees
