The temperature can be measure in diferents scales, the degrees celsius, the degrees fahrenheit and the degrees kelvin . In degree celsius the boiling point of water is 100 degrees celsius and the freezing point of water is 0 degree celsius, in fahrenheit the freezing point of water is 32 degrees fahrenheit and the boiling point of water is 60 degrees fahrenheit. We can speak about the difference between the body temperatures, in degree celsius is 37 degrees celsius, and in fahrenheit is 96 degrees fahrenheit, but there is a way to translate the degrees fahrenheit in degrees celsius, the degree fahrenheit is equal to degrees celsius multiplie by 5 over 9 in parentheses and plus 32, and to get a degrees celsius in fahrenheit we need to do the next calcul ; fahrenheit minus 30 over 2 and we can get the temperature in degree celsius. We haven't talk about the last scale of temperature, the Kelvin, the kelvin is used by scientist, for have international unity of temperature, in kelvin the freezing point of water is 273 degrees kelvin.
This is a blog created by Ms Luminati (science teacher), Ms Mathis (English teacher) and Ms Burguière (science teacher) for the students of lycée expérimental André Malraux (Biarritz, France) who are learning science in English. They want to show that science is fun, interesting and easy particularly when it is done in English! This year we hope to work again with some fine European partners. Let us all have fun together!
