Written by: Jelo R. Sunido

Introduction
Understanding temperature scales and coefficients of thermal expansion is essential in various scientific
fields. In this activity, we will explore the conversion of temperatures between Fahrenheit, Celsius, and Kelvin
scales, as well as define the coefficients of thermal and volume expansion.

5 9 TK = TC + 273
TC = 9 (TF - 32°) TF = 5 TC + 32°

Learning Competency/ies:
• Convert temperatures and temperature differences in the following scales: Fahrenheit, Celsius, Kelvin

Objectives:
At the end of the activity, learners will:
1. identify the different temperature scales: Fahrenheit, Celsius, and Kelvin scales; and
2. convert the data obtained using three (3) different scales.

Materials: Safety Precautions:

• Thermometer • Handle all materials and equipment with care to
• Water prevent accidents.
• Cold water • Do not touch hot surfaces without proper
• Heat source (Alcohol lamp/Bunsen burner) protection to avoid burns.
• Measuring cylinder (Beaker/Tin can) • Avoid working with extreme temperatures without
proper supervision.
• Wear safety goggles to protect your eyes from any
potential hazards.

Procedure:
1.The class will divide into four (5) groups with eight members (8), and divided into two set (Group A and
Group B). Each group will choose their leaders. (See table VI. for the rubrics of the activity)
2. Label the with beaker A for water and beaker B for cold water.
3. Fill the beaker A with water (150ml) and beaker B with cold water (150ml)
4. Record the temperatures before placing them in heat source. (See table II.)
5. Place the beaker in the heat source
6. Observe the water and cold water every 2 minutes and record how many is added to the temperature, record
them using Celsius scale (See table III.)
7. Continue observing until it reaches in trial 5
8. Convert the temperature from Celsius to Fahrenheit and Kelvin one at a time. (See table IV.)
9. Using the formula given, convert the obtained data from degree Fahrenheit to Kelvin

 Possible Answer in guide questions

1. Which set up shows higher temperature in terms of degree Celsius?

- Answers may vary depending on the labeling of the set up

2. Which set up shows higher temperature in terms of degree Fahrenheit?

- Answers may vary depending on the labeling of the set up

3. Which set up shows higher temperature in terms of degree Kelvin?

- Answers may vary depending on the labeling of the set up

4. What is the formula in order to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit to Kelvin?

-Converting temperature measurements between Celsius, Fahrenheit, and Kelvin involves specific
formulas to ensure accuracy. To convert Celsius to Fahrenheit, you can use the formula: Fahrenheit =
(Celsius x 9/5) + 32. This formula takes the Celsius temperature, multiplies it by 9/5, and then adds 32
to get the Fahrenheit equivalent. To convert Celsius to Kelvin, the formula is: Kelvin = Celsius +
273.15. Adding 273.15 to the Celsius temperature gives you the Kelvin temperature. Understanding
these formulas allows for easy and precise conversions between the different temperature scales,
providing flexibility and convenience in various scientific and everyday applications.

5. Why do you think conversion is important?

- Conversion is a critical aspect of any business or marketing strategy as it directly impacts the success
and growth of a company. Conversions refer to turning potential customers into actual customers by
completing a desired action, such as making a purchase, signing up for a newsletter, or downloading a
resource. By focusing on conversion rates, businesses can measure the effectiveness of their marketing
efforts and identify areas for improvement. Increasing conversion rates can lead to higher revenue,
improved brand loyalty, and a more engaged customer base. By optimizing conversion processes,
businesses can enhance the overall customer experience, build trust with their audience, and ultimately
drive long-term success.
