Celsius

Celsius is a unit of measurement used to quantify temperature. It is named after the Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius, who proposed the Celsius temperature scale in 1742. The Celsius scale sets the freezing point of water at 0 degrees and the boiling point of water at 100 degrees at standard atmospheric pressure.

The Celsius scale is commonly used in most countries around the world as the standard unit for measuring temperature in daily life, in weather forecasts, and in science and industry. In the Celsius scale, 0 degrees represents the freezing point of water, and 100 degrees represents the boiling point of water at standard atmospheric pressure.

To convert temperatures between Celsius and Fahrenheit, you can use the following formulas:

To convert Celsius to Fahrenheit: Fahrenheit = (Celsius x 9/5) + 32
To convert Fahrenheit to Celsius: Celsius = (Fahrenheit - 32) x 5/9

Measurement and Data

Describe and compare measurable attributes.

Directly compare two objects, with a measurable attribute in common, to see which object has “more of” or “less of” the attribute, and describe the difference. [K-MD2]

Classify objects and count the number of objects in each category.

Classify objects into given categories; count the number of objects in each category, and sort the categories by count. (Limit category counts to be less than or equal to 10.) [K-MD3]
