The worksheet asks you to place temperature tabs at the correct positions on a thermometer. Let me verify each temperature value and its position on the scale:
1.
Avg. temperature of North Pole in December: -40°C → This goes at the very bottom of the thermometer, at the -40 mark.
2.
Water Freezes: 0°C → This goes at the 0 mark on the thermometer.
3.
Water boils: 100°C → This goes at the very top of the thermometer, at the 100 mark.
4.
Room temperature: 24°C → This goes just below the 25 mark (between 20 and 25, closer to 25).
5.
Hottest ever day in Australia: 50°C → This goes at the 50 mark on the thermometer.
6.
Regular body temperature: 37°C → This goes between 35 and 40, closer to 35 (about two-fifths of the way from 35 to 40).
7.
Temperature of your fridge: 4°C → This goes just above the 0 mark, between 0 and 5, closer to 5.
8.
Temperature of a freezer: -18°C → This goes between -15 and -20, closer to -20 (about three-fifths of the way from -15 down to -20).
Let me double-check my reasoning for the positions that fall between marked lines:
-
37°C: The marks go 35, then 40. So 37 is 2 units above 35 out of 5 total units = 2/5 of the way up from 35 toward 40. ✓
-
24°C: Between 20 and 25. 24 is 4 units above 20 out of 5 = 4/5 of the way up from 20 toward 25. ✓
-
4°C: Between 0 and 5. 4 is 4 units above 0 out of 5 = 4/5 of the way up from 0 toward 5. ✓
-
-18°C: Between -15 and -20. Going downward from -15, -18 is 3 units below -15 out of 5 = 3/5 of the way down from -15 toward -20. ✓
All positions check out correctly.
Final Answer:
Here are the correct positions for each temperature tab on the thermometer:
-
Avg. temperature of North Pole in December (-40°C) → At the
-40 mark (bottom of thermometer)
-
Water Freezes (0°C) → At the
0 mark
-
Water boils (100°C) → At the
100 mark (top of thermometer)
-
Room temperature (24°C) → Just below the
25 mark (between 20 and 25, very close to 25)
-
Hottest ever day in Australia (50°C) → At the
50 mark
-
Regular body temperature (37°C) → Between
35 and 40, slightly above 35
-
Temperature of your fridge (4°C) → Just below the
5 mark (between 0 and 5, close to 5)
-
Temperature of a freezer (-18°C) → Between
-15 and -20, closer to -20
