Measuring Temperature

The Junior and Senior Infants were very busy this week being weather forecasters. Each day for a week they predicted and recorded the weather on a chart. They also analysed the temperature and made their temperature gauge by using a bottle, a straw and  plasticine. This was a great experiment and the children were very excited to see the colored water move up the straw when the temperature increased. This is definitely an experiment we will do again when exploring the different types of weather and also the change in temperature as we move from season to season
