Stage 3: Learning Experience 
Time (30mins)  Content/Description  Notes 

2:00-2:15(15mins) Review Activity - Have students make a chart with

*If we have extra time* Introduction to - Define Thermometer

Thermometer - Helps us measure the
and temperature
Temperature - We measure the
temperature in degrees
celsius
- Explain the differences between
temperatures below zero and above
zero (Below zero are negative
numbers and are colder as they
increase and Above zero are warmer
as they increase and are positive
 numbers)
- Example +40 is a VERY hot
day in the summer and -40 is
VERY cold day in the winter
and you probably wouldn’t
want to go outside
- Label 0 degrees on thermometer
- Freezing point of water
- Ask students where they think that
temperature will go
- A cold winter day (-20
degrees celsius)

Play around with online thermometer (to

show temperature levels to students)

Label Thermometer in Booklet of the

Temperature it is outside that day
- Color it in

 
Student Differentiation  - N/A

 
Reflection/Follow Up  - Practice writing in lowercase and planning your
lessons better timewise
- Do the “If we have extra time” next class
- Keep incorporating Conclusion time into lesson
