step i   leading in
as most of the senior grade iii students start school in august, the weather must be very hot. the teacher may start the class with the following question. “what is the highest temperature recorded this summer?” then lead students to do the quiz about the amazing facts on page1.
t: good morning/ afternoon, everyone!
ss: good morning/ afternoon, mr./ ms…
t: it is very hot, what is the temperature?
s1: it is reported the highest temperature is 35°c
t:  is it the hottest day recoded this summer?
s2: i don’t think so. it was much hotter on july 26. the temperature was 37°c on that day.
t: good. i’m very glad you are careful about this. but do you know the lowest temperature recorded on earth? (show the questions on page 1on the powerpoint.) please work in groups and try to find the amazing facts.

step ii warming up
students will work in groups to decide the answers. whether they can guess the answers or not is not important. the aim of this quiz is to stimulate their interest. two minutes later show the answers on the powerpoint.
t: ok. it doesn’t matter whether you guessed the answers or not. how do you find the questions?
ss: very interesting.
t: do you know where to find the answers to such interesting questions?
ss: the guinness book of world records.
t: yes, it is a book contains records of all kinds. after class please find more information in the book in the library. in this class we are going to practise measuring and comparing. first look at
some typical measurements. ok, please read after me.
