The Celsius scale was actually based off of the boiling and freezing points of water. Water freezes at 0 degrees Celsius [32 degrees Fahrenheit (273.15 degrees Kelvin)] and boils at 100 degrees Celsius[212 degrees Fahrenheit ( degrees 373.15 Kelvin)].
Here are the conversions:
(F for Fahrenheit, C for Celsius, K for Kelvin)
Fahrenheit to Celsius: F-32*5/9=C
Celsius to Fahrenheit: C*9/5+32=F
Fahrenheit to Kelvin: (F-32)*5/9-273.15=K
Kelvin to Fahrenheit: (K+273.15)*9/5+32=F
Celsius to Kelvin: C-273.15=K
Kelvin to Celsius: K+273.15=C
Note: The boiling and freezing points are based on sea level. The boiling point of water increases by 0.9 degrees Fahrenheit per 500 feet of elevation; the freezing point is barely affected as it doesn't deal with gas molecules like boiling does, and the elevation affects it because of lessened air pressure.
