A thermometer typically consists of a glass tube with a bulb at one end filled with a liquid, usually Mercury or colored alcohol. The tube is marked with a scale that indicates temperature readings in degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit. Some modern thermometers are digital, featuring a display that shows the temperature electronically. Overall, they are designed to be easy to read and handle.

What did the first thermometer look like?
The first thermometer was likely a simple glass tube filled with liquid. It had a bulb at one end to trap the liquid and a scale along the side to measure temperature changes. These early thermometers were developed in the 17th century by scientists like Galileo and Santorio.

How do you read a laboratory thermometer?
To read a laboratory thermometer, look at the level of the liquid inside the thermometer that corresponds to the temperature. The temperature is usually indicated next to the liquid level in degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit. Make sure to read the thermometer at eye level and take note of the precise measurement.

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.
What does a thermometer that uses a solid look like?
It will probably be a "dial" type. In one case, it will have a metalic coil that expands and contracts with temp changes.
What does symbol for low coolant look like in mercury cougar?
Very few cars have a low coolant light but will have a overheating light. You can be sure it will look like water or a thermometer. Why not just raise the hood and check the coolant level.
How to construct a temperature meter?
A thermometer is a device that measures temperature or temperature gradient, using a variety of different principles. Look at wikipedia "thermometer".
