MEASURING THE

TEMPERATURE OF
HOT/ WARM
MATERIAL
Objectives:
At the end of the lesson, the pupils should be able to:
1. measure the temperature of tap water and
hot/warm water using a thermometer;
2. read the temperature from the thermometer
correctly; and
3. compare the temperature of tap water and
hot/warm water.
1. Review
We identified some materials that
are hot and cold. Cite 2 examples
of hot materials you found at
home.
2. Motivation/ Presentation
1. Show the class 2 containers
filled with water. Place them on
the table. Label each container
as container 1, and container 2.
Questions:
1. What did you feel when you
dip your finger in container 1?
2. What did you feel when you
dip your finger in container 2?
Question:
3. What is the instrument that
measures the hotness or coldness
of material?
Answer:
Thermometer is a device used to
measure the hotness or coldness
of an object.
thermometer
The temperature of the material tells
whether the material is hot or cold. It is
usually measured in degrees Celsius
(°C )
The normal room temperature
ranges from 20 0C - 25 0C. The
average room temperature is 23
0C.
The temperature of hot/warm
water is higher than the
temperature of tap water (room
temperature) and vice-versa.
Heat added to the material
increases the temperature of the
material.
