Normal body temperature is considered to be 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit or 37 degrees Celsius. Body temperature can vary 1/2 to 1 degree Fahrenheit above or below 98.6 F. and still be considered normal. Body temperature varies with many factors including level of activity.

Project Ideas:

1. Take your own temperature in the morning, in the afternoon and in the evening. Did it change? Can you explain why?
2. Exercise for 30 minutes. Take your temperature directly after you are finished, one half hour later and one hour later. Did it change? Can you explain why?
3. What happens when your body temperature goes too high? What happens when your body temperature goes too low?
