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!

What is a degree
What is a degree?
A degree is a unit used to measure temperatures. You can express it in °C,K or °F
The fahrenheit scale was created by Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit in the 18th century. During his studies in Poland, he decided to create a temperature scale based on the blood temperature in the human body: he chose 98.6°F he then added more temperatures such as; the melting point of ice(32°F)and the boiling point of the water(212°F)
After The French Revolution at the end of the 18th century,a lot of countries changed their temperature scale from Fahrenheit to Celsius since it was a lot more easier. Indeed, in celsius the freezing point of water is 0°C and the boiling point of water is 100°C
Finally, Lord Kelvin invented the Kelvin scale which is now the most used temperature scale in the world
Those scales give us formules:
C=(F-32)*5/9 ; F=(C*5/9)+32
0°C=32°F 0°F=-18°C 0 K=-273°C
100°C=212°F 98.6°F=37°C
-40°C=40°F

The degree is a unit to measure the temperature
There is 3 types of degree used in the world
-The Celcius (the most used in the world)
-The Farenheit (used in USA)
-The Kelvin (international system)
Gabriel Farenheit created the scale of farenheit during the 18th century
Boiling temp of water : 100°C / 373°K/212°F
Freezing temp of water : 0°C/273°K/32°F

What is a degree?
A degre can be in three different units : the Fahrenheit in F, the Kelvin in K and the Celsius in C. The boiling point of water is at 100°C so in Fahrenheit it's at 212°C. Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit base on the tempeture of the blood. That units are create in the 18e century.
We have three different formula:
- Form the Celsius to the Fahrenheit :C=(F-32)*5/9
- Form the Fahrenheit to the Celsius: F=(C*9/5)+32
- Form the Celsius to the Kelvin: K=C+273
- Form the Kelvin to the Celsius: C=K-273

Notion about Degrees
First of all we're gonna talk about the three units temperature of the world:
- The Kelvin is the international unit of temperature and he's the most use.
-The absolute temperature is 0 Kelvin wich is equal to -273degrees, nothing can be colder.
-The temperature influence the fluid activity, higher the fluid is more the molecules are collide beetwen them
Degrees
In the world, there are three types of units: the celsius, the kelvin and the fahrenheit. The international unit is the Kelvin but the celsius is used more and has the same ladder. The fahrenheit is used in the USA because they have a problem with their space station.

degrees
Celsius and farenheit are the international unit. Daniel Gabriel Farenheit created the unit farenheit
Lord Kelvin created the unit kelvin, Anders Celsius created the unit celsius. The formula to convert farenheit into celsius is (C*9/5)+32, and to convert celsius into farenheit is ((F-32)*5)9. Hot atmopher takes more places but cold atmospher takes less places.The metric convertion was created in 1975.
