Identify temperature
Free printable Grade 6 science worksheet for "Identify temperature" — practice thermal energy. No-prep, print or assign online.
Middle school students identify temperature as a measure of the average kinetic energy of particles in a substance, connecting the macroscopic reading on a thermometer to the microscopic behavior of matter in the Thermal Energy unit. Teachers can use this worksheet after an introduction to thermodynamics vocabulary, helping students distinguish temperature from heat and understand how both relate to energy transfer. It builds the conceptual precision students need for quantitative thermal energy problems later in physical science.
Learning objectives
- Identify temperature as a measure of the average kinetic energy of a substance's particles
- Distinguish between temperature and thermal energy and explain the difference
- Explain how a thermometer measures temperature and why temperature scales differ
