Understanding Temperature and Elevation Concepts

This video tutorial covers interpreting negative numbers, focusing on temperature and elevation. It begins with an introduction to negative numbers using a thermometer, followed by temperature comparisons. The lesson then explores animal positions relative to sea level using a number line. The concept of absolute value is introduced to measure distances. The session concludes with a review and homework exercises to reinforce the concepts learned.
