Heat and Temperature Science Game Online

This page features a heat and temperature science game. In physics, both concepts are related. For the temperature of an object to rise, it has to be heated over a period of time. Heating sources include fire, the sun and the Earth's crust. The instrument used for measuring temperature is a thermometer. It is an easy tool to use and students can learn to do so easily. In this game, students will learn both concepts and more. Click and start learning. 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th grades.
