6. VIDEO-Reading Thermometers-CyberSquad
1. How was the CyberSquad's thermometer labeled? How many
cyber degrees were represented by each mark?
2. The first temperature reading inside the case showed a
temperature somewhere between the 40 and 50 cyber
degree marks. How did the CyberSquad determine the exact
temperature?
3. There are 5 spaces between 40 and 50 degrees. How many
degrees are represented by each tick mark?
4. At the end of the video segment, the liquid inside the
thermometer did not reach the mark on the thermometer.
How did the CyberSquad determine the temperature?
5. Can you name other measuring tools that are marked like a
thermometer?

7. HISTORY-THERMOMETERS
Before there was the thermometer, there was the
earlier and closely related thermoscope, best
described as a thermometer without a scale. A
thermoscope only showed the differences in
temperatures, for example, it could show something
was getting hotter. However, the thermoscope did
not measure all the data that a thermometer could,
for example an exact temperature in degrees.

8. READING THERMOMETERS
Temperature is measured using two different
scales: Celsius and Fahrenheit. Almost all the
countries of the world use the Celsius scale.
The United States is one of the only countries
that use the Fahrenheit scale.
