Thermometer Experiment

Here's a picture of our thermometer experiment.  We talked about how a thermometer can measure the temperature of air, water, and even your body.  In this experiment we measured the temperature of water without ice and with ice.  It was fun seeing the red going up and down on the thermometer! 

We recorded our results and discussed our findings.  The children discovered that the red of the thermometer goes up when temperatures are warm or hot and the red of the thermometer goes down when temperatures are cold.
