You’ve uploaded a worksheet titled “Temperature” that asks students to read the temperature shown on each thermometer and write it in both Celsius (°C) and Fahrenheit (°F), depending on which scale is labeled.
Let’s go through each thermometer one by one and determine the correct temperature reading.

🔹 Row 1:
Thermometer 1 (Left):
- Scale:
°F (Fahrenheit)
- The red line is halfway between 40 and 50 →
45°F
-
✔ Already filled in as
42°F — but that’s incorrect. It should be
45°F
> ❗ Correction needed: The student wrote 42°F, but the mercury line is clearly at 45°F.

Thermometer 2 (Middle):
- Scale:
°C (Celsius)
- Markings: -20, -10, 0, 10, 20
- Red line is at
0°C
✔ Answer:
0°C

Thermometer 3 (Right):
- Scale:
°F (Fahrenheit)
- Markings: 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100
- Red line is at
80°F
✔ Answer:
80°F

## 📝 Explanation for Students:
To read a thermometer:
1. Look at the scale (Celsius or Fahrenheit).
2. Find the number where the red line (mercury) stops.
3. If it’s between two numbers, estimate — e.g., halfway between 40 and 50 is 45.
4. Write the number with the correct unit (°C or °F).

## 💡 Tip:
Always double-check if the red line is exactly on a mark or halfway between. In the first thermometer, the student misread 45°F as 42°F — common mistake! Always count carefully.
