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.

Why do you have to leave a thermometer in a substance for some amount of time to get an accurate measurement of the substances temperature?
You need to leave a thermometer in a substance for a period of time to ensure thermal equilibrium is reached, meaning the thermometer and the substance have the same temperature. If the thermometer is removed too quickly, it may not have had enough time to adjust to the temperature of the substance, leading to an inaccurate reading. Additionally, the thermometer's materials may take time to respond to changes in temperature, further necessitating this wait.
