The seasons they are a-changin’. And so is the weather! As spring approaches, the temperatures usually rise. What a great time to teach your students about reading thermometers and graphing. This easy-to-implement and hands-on bulletin board graph and free downloads will help you do just that.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Bulletin Board Graph<\/h3>\n

Set-up, or have your students help you create, a bulletin board graph. Use the graph below as a guide for what your bulletin board should look like. <\/p>\n

On the Y axis write a range of temperatures. On the X axis write the dates in March–select a handful of dates or include all 31 days.<\/p>\n

You can also print the graph {free download}<\/b><\/a> and give each student a copy so that they can record the daily temperature on their own. Then, as a group, record that day’s temperature on the bulletin board.<\/p>\n

Free Worksheet<\/h3>\n

Use this worksheet {free download}<\/a><\/b> to help reinforce your lessons on using a thermometer.<\/p>\n

Finished Graph<\/h3>\n

At the end of the month, draw a continuous line to connect the temperatures to show what a finished line graph looks like.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

Discuss these Questions:<\/h3>\n

– What was the warmest day of the month?
– On which dates did the temperature drop?
– What was the temperature on the first day of spring?
– Between which two dates was the greatest difference in temperature?
– Was there a temperature that was never reached on the graph?
– Did the temperature rise or fall over the month? Why do you think that is?<\/p>\n
