2 Comparing Temperature Scales

3 Units of Temperature Fahrenheit scale 0 F Celsius scale commonly used by scientists water boils at 100 0 C 0 K coldest temperature – absolute 0 official SI unit Kelvin scale water freezes at 0 0 C U. S. standard system

4 Definition - measured with a thermometer unit of measurement is the degree measured on the Fahrenheit and Celsius scales Celsius scale - 0 C water freezes at 0 0 C water boils at 100 0 C the measure of how hot or cold something is

5 Reading Thermometers

6 Temperature -the measure of how hot or cold something is Instrument -thermometer Metric unit of measurement -degrees Celsius 0 C
