4. Definition of Terms  Temperature- A measure of the average amount of kinetic energy of the particles in an object.

5. Instructions on working the equipment  What is a Thermometer?  A thermometer is an instrument that measures the temperature of a system.  What is a Thermometer?  A thermometer is an instrument that measures the temperature of a system.

6. How to take the measurements  Thermometers measure temperature in units called degrees. (°), Degrees are equally spaced units between two points.  Examine the liquid filled tube on the thermometer, and read the level of the liquid in the tube.  This is the temperature and is stated as degrees Fahrenheit (°F) or degrees Celsius (°C).  Thermometers measure temperature in units called degrees.

7. What the measurements mean / 30° F = Water turns to ice, rain turns to snow, it is cold enough to wear a coat. / 30°C = Water is warm enough to swim in, about the temperature of bath water. / 30° F = Water turns to ice, rain turns to snow, it is cold enough to wear a coat. / 30°C = Water is warm enough to swim in, about the temperature of bath water.
