How do you tell how hot or cold something is?
use a thermometer.We can feel how hot or cold something is. However, sometimes things are just too hot or cold for us to feel safely. At other times we need to know exactly how hot or cold something is. When we need to measure temperature correctly we need to use an instrument called a thermometer. This measures temperature in degrees Celsius [sometimes called centigrade] or degrees Fahrenheit. There are different types of thermometers for different situations. A medical thermometer, for example, needs to be very accurate. It measures in fractions of degrees. When we are ill, even tiny changes in temperature are important. Some thermometers use a liquid that moves up a very fine glass tube. Most room thermometers, and outdoor thermometers are like this. The liquid is either mercury [ which is poisonous] or coloured alcohol. As liquids get warmer they expand [get bigger], and move up the tube. Water expands too, but not as much as alcohol and mercury. Thermometers that might be used by small children are not made of glass. They use a digital display which lights up the temperature. Inside the displays are chemicals that change colour according to the temperature.

A thermometer
What is the substance in a thermometer that tells us the temperature?
The substance in a thermometer that tells us the temperature is usually mercury or alcohol. These substances expand or contract in response to temperature changes, allowing the thermometer to measure the temperature accurately.
What are facts about thermometers?

What does it mean to say a thermometer measures its own temperature?
When a thermometer measures its own temperature, it refers to the device accurately reading and displaying the temperature of the thermometer itself instead of the temperature of the environment or object being measured. This can help ensure the thermometer is functioning correctly and providing accurate readings.
What the markings on a thermometer?
The markings on a thermometer represent different temperature intervals, typically measured in degrees Fahrenheit or Celsius. These markings help to accurately determine and read the temperature indicated by the level of the liquid inside the thermometer tube.
What are the types of thermometer?
Celsius, Fahrenheit, and Kelvin.
What is the substance in a digital thermometer that tells us the temperature?
The substance in a digital thermometer that tells us the temperature is usually a thermistor. A thermistor is a type of resistor whose resistance changes with temperature, allowing the thermometer to detect the heat variations and provide an accurate temperature reading.
What are some advantages of a clinical thermometer?
