A thermometer is an instrument used to measure temperate. They can be used for outdoor purposes or to see if someone is running a fever. They are found virtually anywhere where temperature needs to be recorded.
Thermometers are devices that measure temperature.
The Italian scientist Galileo invented the first air thermometer around 1600 and it has, and will continue to be, improved upon.
thermometer (a measuring instrument for measuring temperature)
A thermometer is an instrument for measuring heat. The word thermometer is a combination of two words from the Greek: thérmē, meaning heat, and métron, meaning measure.
The "thermometer" measures temperature, from the root words thermo (heat) and meter (measure).
A thermometer is for telling how the temperature is out side or inside.
a thermometer is something people use to measure the temperature of something
A thermometer is a device which is used to measure temperature or heat. There are two types of these:
1)Clinical Thermometer
2) Laboratory Thermometer
It measures temperature.
A clinical thermometer is used to measure a human body, and the laboratory thermometer is used to boil water and other lab uses.
An instrument used to find out the air temperature
Mercury is used in thermometers. The mercury is the red substance in the thermometer that rises when you put it in your mouth.
fever thermometer is used by the doctors and they are adjusted to body temperature whereas lab thermometer is adjusted to liquid temperature
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.
