Two different ladders both go from the ground to the top of the
same building. Ladder #1 has 100 rungs and ladder #2 has 120 rungs.
Two people climb up 100ft on each ladder.
1. Which ladder has the smallest distance between rungs?
2. If you climb 50 rungs on ladder #1, how many rungs
will you climb on ladder #2 to go to the same height?
The three common temperature scales – Celsius, Fahrenheit, and
Kelvin, are based on different ideas. Celsius, for example, is based
on water’s freezing and boiling points.
1. Research each scale and write a description of what each is based on.
2. Compare the change in temperature between the scales –
if the temperature increases by 1 degree Celsius, how much does it
increase by on the Fahrenheit scale?
3. Find each of these in Fahrenheit, Celsius, and Kelvin :
a. body temperature
b. freezing point of water
c. melting point of lead
d. 350 Fo oven
e. Boiling point of water
