Kelvin
Kelvin is the unit of temperature in the International System of Units (SI). It is named after the Scottish physicist William Thomson, 1st Baron Kelvin. In the Kelvin scale, 0 K (zero kelvin) is absolute zero, the theoretical lowest possible temperature. The size of the kelvin unit is the same as the degree Celsius, but the zero point is different. The Kelvin scale is commonly used in scientific and engineering applications.
To convert a temperature from Celsius to Kelvin, you can use the following formula:
Kelvin = Celsius + 273.15
For example, if the temperature is 25 degrees Celsius, the equivalent temperature in kelvin would be 25 + 273.15 = 298.15 K.

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]
