Temperature and its Measurement
About this chapter
Temperature and its Measurement is Chapter 7 of Class 6 Curiosity. Through the story of Lambok and his sister Phiban in Shillong, students learn why touch cannot reliably tell hot from cold, and why we need a thermometer. The chapter builds six core ideas: temperature as a reliable measure of hotness or coldness; the digital clinical thermometer and the safe replacement of mercury thermometers; the normal body temperature of 37.0 degrees C and factors that affect it; the laboratory thermometer with its bulb, liquid column and Celsius scale (range -10 to 110 degrees C); how to find a thermometer's range and least count; and the three scales — Celsius, Fahrenheit and Kelvin (the SI unit) — with T(K) = T(C) + 273.15. Anna Mani, the Weather Woman of India, links the chapter to real weather science. CTET Paper 2 Science tests this chapter through scale-and-unit pairings, correct-method items, range and least-count reasoning, and conversion questions. The four tests — Practice 15 Q, Quiz 15 Q, Hard 15 Q, Mastery 30 Q — cover these ideas at exam depth.
