Lesson: The Kelvin Temperature Scale Physics • Second Year of Secondary School

Join Nagwa Classes

Attend live Physics sessions on Nagwa Classes to learn more about this topic from an expert teacher!

In this lesson, we will learn how to convert between the Celsius and Fahrenheit scales and the Kelvin scale and define absolute zero.

Students will be able to

convert from Celsius to Kelvin and from Kelvin to Celsius,
convert from Fahrenheit to Kelvin and from Kelvin to Fahrenheit,
recognize that there is an absolute zero temperature,
recall that in the Kelvin scale, 0 K is absolute zero,
recall the value of absolute zero in Celsius,
recall the freezing point and boiling point of water in Kelvin,
recognize that a change in temperature in the Kelvin scale has the same magnitude as a change in temperature in the Celsius scale, but not in the Fahrenheit scale.
