that depends on what type of thermometer. The tube thermometer, the kind with a glass tube with a red liquid in it, uses a small amount of Mercury in a very small tube. When the mercury is heated, it expands, pushing further up the tube, as it cools it contracts, going down the tube.
A dial thermometer also works on expansion and contraction, but with a coil instead of mercury.
