Thermometer

What is it?
Thermometers measure temperature in degrees Celsius (°C). They can use liquid expansion, bimetal strips, or digital sensors to give readings.

Where do I use it?

• Reptile Robot – Measure how motors heat up during operation.
• Robot Bubble Machine – Record temperature changes while testing.

Why is it important?
Temperature affects machines, people, and ecosystems. Engineers test how heat builds up in motors, while scientists measure climate changes. In STEM kits, thermometers show how energy transfers as heat.

STEM Skill Focus

• Monitor and compare heat changes.
• Link energy, environment, and system performance.
