To make your own homemade thermometer, a person will need a plastic bottle, a clear straw, some putty, water, rubbing alcohol, and food coloring. Fill a quater of the bottle with equal parts water and rubbing alcohol. Add a few drops of food coloring to help see the change in temperature. Place the straw in the bottle and seal the top completely with the putty, making sure the bottom of the straw does not touch the bottom of the bottle. The liquid will rise and fall through the straw when the temperature changes.

Can a thermometer measure its own temp?
No, a thermometer measures the temperature of its surroundings rather than its own temperature. In order to measure its own temperature accurately, a thermometer would need to maintain a separate reference temperature which is challenging to achieve in practice.
What does it mean to say a thermometer measures its own temperature?
When a thermometer measures its own temperature, it refers to the device accurately reading and displaying the temperature of the thermometer itself instead of the temperature of the environment or object being measured. This can help ensure the thermometer is functioning correctly and providing accurate readings.
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 is a thermometer made out of?
a liquid thermometer is made with a glass "shell" and ussually have murcur inside them that dilates when it gets hotter and rises and contracts when its colder and lowers- this has been made by a 12 year old boy
How a thermometer can be callibrated?
A thermometer can be calibrated by placing it in a temperature-controlled environment, such as an ice bath or boiling water, and adjusting the reading to match the known temperature. This process ensures the accuracy of the thermometer readings and allows for corrections to be made if there are any discrepancies. Calibration should be done regularly to maintain the reliability of the thermometer.
