The temperature scale commonly used in science is the Celsius or centigrade scale. The Kelvin scale is most often used in the thermodynamic and astronomical fields (and especially when dealing with temperatures close to absolute zero).

There are two temperature scales used by scientists. The first scale, Kelvin, is the SI (Standard Unit) or official unit used in certain cases. Informally, and more commonly is the Celsius scale.

The older Fahrenheit scale (and its absolute version, the Rankine) are still used in the US and some other countries, but not generally for scientific purposes to avoid misunderstandings in data comparison.

What are 2 scales scientist use to measure temperature and what is the official SI unit for temperature?

The scales used by scientists are Celsius (or Centigrade) and Kelvin. Both use a degree which has the same value. However, the Kelvin scale is an absolute scale which means that 10K is 10 times "warmer" than 1K. This is not true for the Celsius scale.
