Drawing Celsius Temperatures

This worksheet is designed for students in Grades 3 and 4 to strengthen understanding of temperature measurement by visually representing values on the Celsius scale. By working with temperatures that range from below freezing to warm conditions, learners apply scale interpretation, estimation, scientific reasoning, and visual-spatial skills to accurately draw mercury levels on thermometers.

Learning Goals

• Celsius Temperature Measurement (Gr. 3-4): Represent given temperature values correctly on a Celsius thermometer.
• Interpreting Scales & Intervals: Use tick marks and intervals to place mercury accurately.
• Understanding the Celsius System: Connect temperatures to real-world conditions such as freezing, cool, and warm weather.
• Graphical Data Representation: Translate numerical data into clear, proportional visual models.

Instructional Benefits

• Teacher-Created Resource: Designed by educators to align with elementary science and math standards.
• Hands-On Visual Learning: Drawing mercury levels reinforces how temperature scales function.
• Supports Conceptual Understanding: Emphasizes meaning and placement rather than rote reading.
• Flexible Use: Ideal for science lessons, math centers, independent practice, small groups, assessment review, homework, or homeschool instruction.

This Drawing Celsius Temperatures worksheet helps students build a deeper understanding of how temperatures are displayed on scientific instruments. By visually modeling Celsius values, learners strengthen measurement literacy, estimation skills, and confidence interpreting real-world temperature data. Whether used in the classroom or a homeschool setting, this printable provides clear, no-prep practice that supports accurate data visualization and foundational science skills.
