“I use Byrdseed TV to differentiate for my clustered students. I LOVE all the ideas!” ~ a teacher in Washington
Students calculate averages using negative temperatures.
First, students note the average monthly highs in the North and South Poles.
Then, they graph those temperatures on a multi-line graph.
Next, they find the highs and lows and calculate the annual temperature range at each location.
Then, they calculate the average temperature in each season for both poles.
Finally, they communicate their Polar Weather Report.
Students will work with negative numbers and a grid to get their car around a track first.
