the bottom of the 1st

6. Color the bottom part of the

cartolina.

2nd strip with red as shown in the

illustration.

Sometimes the air is hot. At other times it is cold.

The degree of hotness or coldness of air is called the air temperature.

An air temperature is used to measure air temperature.

Now youll learn how to measure air temperature.

You will first be suing an air thermometer model.

WHAT IS TEMPERATURE?

You observed that sometimes the air gets warm and at other times, it

gets cold. The degree of hotness and coldness of air is called temperature.

Temperature Changes During The Day

An area gets hotter when it is heated by the sun and gets cool when the

heat leaves the area. The coldest time of the 24-hour day is just before sunrise,

after the Earth has been losing heat all night.

Air temperature is measured by a device called air thermometer. It is

expressed in degree Celsius or . A thermometer is a narrow glass tube

containing mercury or colored alcohol. As the temperature increases, the mercury

or alcohol expands and its level in the tube rises. The number corresponding to

the liquids level is the temperature reading.

Air temperature affects the weather conditions. During warm weather, the

temperature rises. We say the temperature is high. During cooler days, the

temperature sinks or drops. We say the temperature is low. The average air

temperature is 19-32 . A temperature reading below 19 means it is cold. A

temperature reading above 32 means it is warm.

Air temperature changes from time to and from place to place.
