Answer to Question 1

Scientists throughout the world communicate and write about their scientific
findings in many different languages. A single scale of measurement makes it easier
for scientists from different countries to interpret the results of studies done by
other scientists. A single measurement scale results in scientific methods and
procedures that are standardized from one country to the next. A standardized
measurement scale makes it easier for scientists to share their work (equipment,
chemical stocks, cultures, etc.) with scientists from different countries.



Answer to Question 2

Answers will vary by student, day, time, and location of temperature readings.
