Lesson outcome

I can safely and accurately measure the temperature of different objects using a thermometer.

Show transcript
Thermometers measure temperature in degrees Celsius (ºC). Glass thermometers are fragile and need to be handled with care. To accurately read the scale on a glass thermometer, your eye needs to be level with the top of the coloured liquid. Pure ice melts at 0ºC and pure water boils at 100ºC. If left for long enough, all objects in a room will reach the same temperature.
