How to Make a Temperature Conversion Chart

Converting between Celsius, Fahrenheit and Kelvin temperatures can be a tricky matter unless you have memorized the different temperature conversion formulas. If you have trouble committing the four formulas to memory, try making a temperature conversion chart. State each formula on the chart and provide sample conversions in a neatly formatted table.

Instructions

1

Open a blank document in any graphics presentation software. Click within the title placeholder and type, "Temperature Conversion Chart."

2

Position the cursor on the drawing tool bar and choose the Clip Art icon. Choose a thermometer among the photographs and then click, drag and drop it to the blank document. Size it so that it runs almost the full length of the document.

3

Imagine the document is divided into thirds lengthwise. Move the thermometer photo to the far left third of the page. Insert a table with three columns and fifteen rows. Title the columns "Celsius," "Fahrenheit" and "Kelvin."

4

Begin with the "Celsius" column. In increments of 10 add numbers ranging from 110 to -30 at the bottom. Move to the "Fahrenheit" column and start with 230 in the first row and continue numbering down to -22 in the last row. Calculate the numbers in increments of 8.

5

Prepare numbers for the "Kelvin" column. The first number should be 383 and the last number should be 243. Each row must show numbers in increments of 10.

6

Insert a rectangle in the first third of the document. Click within the rectangle and type, "Temperature Conversion." Beneath the title, type the following four formulas: 1. Celsius (C) to Fahrenheit (F): F=(Cx9/5)+32; 2. Fahrenheit to Celsius: C=(F-32)x5/9; 3. Celsius to Kelvin (K): K=C+273; 4. Kelvin to Celsius: C=K-273."
