How Cold is it?

measurement · temperature data collection and analysis

How Cold is it? is a Grade 2 measurement and data activity built from real classroom temperature readings. Students check an outdoor thermometer over a period of days, record the temperatures, and then use the collected data to find highs, lows, an average, and—when the data supports it—a line plot. The repeated observations connect measurement to a data set students actually helped create.

Use it as a whole-class investigation when you want temperature, graphing, and data discussion to grow from an authentic routine. Students can compare days, describe weather conditions, and make seasonal predictions from the pattern they see.
