What is a variable that you measure?

An example of a variable that you can measure is temperature. Temperature is a quantitative variable that can be measured using a thermometer in degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit. It is an important factor in many scientific experiments and studies.


Is a thermometer changing categoric or continuous?

A thermometer is measuring a continuous variable because it can take on any value within a certain range, indicating a quantitative measurement of temperature.


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.

Is a thermometer a example of an independent variable?

Absolutely, the thermometer is independent of any other measuring device, therefore the actual temperature is dependent on the reading that is taken off the thermometer.
