I am going on a 3-day field trip with my students. I checked to see what the temperature is where we are going so I know what clothes to pack.

I just though of another example - I use an oven thermometer for baking scrumptious cookies!

If it is much higher than normal body temperature (37.6), we take fever medication. Measuring his temperature has been a life saver!]]> 2017-11-13 09:44:20 UTC https://padlet.com/clane9/enerjauh0za1/wish/206145972 tima_nisbet https://padlet.com/clane9/enerjauh0za1/wish/206147499 Canadian winters can get pretty cold. When I was teaching in Canada, it was important to know the temperature, as sometimes it was too cold to let the children outside during recess/breaktimes. Anything that was colder than -25 (with the wind) was considered unsafe for children. ]]> 2017-11-13 09:49:25 UTC https://padlet.com/clane9/enerjauh0za1/wish/206147499 https://padlet.com/clane9/enerjauh0za1/wish/206166760 I like to have an idea of what the temperature is going to be so that I know what to wear, I don't want to wear too much but i certainly don't want to be cold either so I watch the weather forecast or check it on my phone to see what the expected temperature is going to be.]]> 2017-11-13 11:00:14 UTC https://padlet.com/clane9/enerjauh0za1/wish/206166760 https://padlet.com/clane9/enerjauh0za1/wish/206179115 I use temperature in many ways. I live in Pennsylvania where it gets very cold. I watch the temperature so I know what types of jackets we need to wear or what the road conditions might be like. The roads can get very icy so it might be dangerous to drive. As a nurse I use it to monitor someone's body temperature to see if they might have an infection or not. Certain blood tests I take have to be kept below a certain temperature to keep certain chemical reactions from happening to get a proper result. Also some medical equipment I use won't work properly if it's too cold so I need to make sure it's stored in the right temperature. ]]> 2017-11-13 11:46:34 UTC https://padlet.com/clane9/enerjauh0za1/wish/206179115 https://padlet.com/clane9/enerjauh0za1/wish/206182029 I use temperatures to make sure what I’m cooking will be cooked well. Baking needs exact temperatures, too!

Also, I also need it for my refrigerator and freezer so I know my food is cold and safe.]]> 2017-11-13 11:56:58 UTC https://padlet.com/clane9/enerjauh0za1/wish/206182029 https://padlet.com/clane9/enerjauh0za1/wish/206191906 I also use temperature in the summer time when setting the airconditioning units. I try to make sure that I do not make it too cold as it uses too much energy and is not good for the enrironment. I aim for 24/25 degrees C. 

When I lived in the tropics, it used to upset me that the shopping malls and cinemas felt like being inside a refrigerator! It felt like such a waste of energy. ]]> 2017-11-13 12:34:09 UTC https://padlet.com/clane9/enerjauh0za1/wish/206191906 https://padlet.com/clane9/enerjauh0za1/wish/206284132 I use temperature to know my temperature if I fever and also use it to know the temperature of the weather if it is rainy or cold]]> 2017-11-13 15:20:36 UTC https://padlet.com/clane9/enerjauh0za1/wish/206284132 https://padlet.com/clane9/enerjauh0za1/wish/206373800 Having the same number for the temperature helps us all.

I made fried ravioli recently, I found out that my thermometer was broken when I put the ravioli in and they burned on the outside immediately. I ended up having to bake them in the oven at a specific temperature. ]]> 2017-11-13 18:16:52 UTC https://padlet.com/clane9/enerjauh0za1/wish/206401033 https://padlet.com/clane9/enerjauh0za1/wish/206488588 When do I use temperature? When the Girls are sick or catching a cold, I use temperature to monitor the sickness and avoid it to get worst .

I also love to bake cookies so if I want them to turn out right I have to follow the recipe directions for temperature. ]]> 2017-11-14 02:06:00 UTC https://padlet.com/clane9/enerjauh0za1/wish/206549703 https://padlet.com/clane9/enerjauh0za1/wish/206557020 I live in Southern California. Many of my friends enjoy surfing. Even though the temperature outside is warm, the Atlantic Ocean is very cold. Most surfers wear different thicknesses of wetsuits so they can enjoy the cold water without getting hypothermia - an illness you can get from being in the cold too long. This happens in more quickly in colder water than in colder air. It’s very important for surfers to know the water temperature so they protect themselves in the correct wetsuit. ]]> 2017-11-14 02:55:01 UTC https://padlet.com/clane9/enerjauh0za1/wish/206557020 https://padlet.com/clane9/enerjauh0za1/wish/206668159 Many people check the temperature of water before they go for a swim in a pool or a lake. If the water is too cold, then they won’t go swimming (below 22 degrees Celsius is very cold, but everyone has their own comfort level). Or if it is a hot tub, you want to make sure the temperature is just right (about 38-40 degrees). ]]> 2017-11-14 12:27:21 UTC https://padlet.com/clane9/enerjauh0za1/wish/206668159 https://padlet.com/clane9/enerjauh0za1/wish/207011801 If we want to fully appreciate the delicate taste of the green tea we need to brew it correctly. Heating the water to the optimal temperature will draw out the right balance between flavor, sweetness, biterness and astringency. If the temperature is too low, it may not extract the full range of flavors. If the temperature is too high, the tea will taste overly bitter and astringent. Depending on the particular tea (Chinese green teas or Japanese green teas), the ideal temperature can range from 60C to 90C, which I can measure using a thermometer.
