2 WHAT IS TEMPERATURE? Some people say: it is how hot or cold something is Scientists say: measure of how fast the atoms & molecules that make-up a substance are moving. You would need a microscope to see them. What is a microscope?

3 HOW IS TEMPERATURE MEASURED? A thermometer measures the temperature of something, it shows how hot or cold. Thermometers measures the temperature of the air, our bodies, food, & many other things. There are TWO types: digital and analog Analog is similar to a scale or dial (think of a clock) Digital: electronic The higher the number the hotter the temperature
