LEARNING OBJECTIVES
GLO 2-9 Recognize the effects of heating and cooling, and identify methods for
heating and cooling.
SLO 1: Describe temperature in relative terms, using expressions, such as hotter
than, colder than.
SLO 2: Measure temperature in degrees Celsius ( C)
Students will:
1. Compare objects using the expressions hotter than and colder than.
2. Describe temperature in C.

ASSESSMENTS
Observations:

Key Questions:

Products/Performances:

Are students able to create their own comparison of hotter

than and colder than?
Do students recognize that when an object is hotter the
red in the thermometer goes up? Goes down when colder?
Do students acknowledge that temperatures can vary
greatly?
What is an example of something being hotter than
and colder than?
How do we measure temperature exactly?
In what units do we measure temperature?
Products: hotter than colder than mini-book,
thermometer mini-book

Wear heat peepers. What did we learn about heat

yesterday? *It moves*
Explain there is a way we can measure how hot

Hotter than Colder than mini-book
1. Retrieve lapbooks and return heat peepers
2. Instruct: see your hot and cold charts? Now we
are going to compare things that are hotter than
and colder than each other!
3. Model: my mini-book was cut out, folded and
glued, then I filled out hot cocoa was hotter than
ice with an arrow pointing to both to show that
ice is colder than hot cocoa. I coloured the arrow
by ice blue and the arrow by cocoa red to show
what is hot and what is cold.
