Three scales commonly used for temperature are the Fahrenheit, Celsius, and Kelvin scales.
Fahrenheit scale - Water freezes at 32°F and boils at 212°F
Celsius scale (centigrade) - Water freezes at 0°C and boils at 100°C
Kelvin scale - same scale as Celsius degrees, but offset to begin at "absolute zero" (-273.15°C), i.e. water freezes at 273.15°K and boils at 373.15°K

Is thermometer an example of technology?
no its not One of the definitions of technology is the practical application of science to commerce or industry, and the invention and introduction of the thermometer was an excellent example of technology.
What are the errors to use a thermometer?
The fixed error on a non-digital thermometer is 0.5oC. The percentage error is worked out by dividing 50 by the reading you have taken from the thermometer.
What is a dual probe thermometer?
this is a thermometer that can work twice as much as a normal thermometer or a thermometer that can check the temperature of two things at the same time
What is the difference between a chocolate thermometer and a regular thermometer?
A chocolate thermometer and a regular thermometer differ from each other by its size and sturdiness. The chocolate thermometer are much bigger than the regular thermometer so that it can withstand the extreme heat. The normal thermometer can withstand less heat than the other one.
How can you use the words inquiry and thermometer in one sentence?
I did not understand the nurse's inquiry as to what I had done with the thermometer. Will an inquiry be necessary to find that thermometer? A silent thermometer has no inquiry.

What are the four different types of thermometer?

Why might your thermometer not give an accurate?
Because of where it is positoned. If you wanted to know the room temperature, but the thermometer was in a place where it is cold, it may not give the correct value.
What are the 3 types of thermometer?

What device is not useful for measuring radiation?
For example a thermometer.
Give a example of a positive integer?
3
Is a thermometer a example of an independent variable?
Absolutely, the thermometer is independent of any other measuring device, therefore the actual temperature is dependent on the reading that is taken off the thermometer.
Why will the mercury in the thermometer rise after 3 minutes?
It will rise from the moment it is heated - for example, from the moment it has contact with the body. But it is expected to stabilize after a few minutes.
