Be a Meteorologist: Teaching kids to measure temperature

Today is World Meteorological Day. The weather is important to people. It affects our comfort, our food supply, and even our safety. Meteorology is a science that studies the changes in the weather each day. Those who study it are called meteorologists, and they use different tools to try to predict if it will be raining, snowing, warm, or cold.

One of the tools meteorologists use is a thermometer, which measures the temperature. Kids can also use this tool to help study and predict the weather, just like these scientists. Here’s a quick video to help teach kids about measuring temperature so they can celebrate World Meteorological Day, too.
