11. Create a scale for your model thermometer. Divide the distance between the two marks into 5-mm intervals. Starting with the lowest point, label the intervals on the straw 0, 1, 2, 3, and so on. Describe your scale below.
You must have made marks at two different known temperatures, low and high
Label low 0 label high something then every 5 mm make a mark label them 1, 2 ,3, etc until you reach high. The high is at 78 degrees F and low was at 61 degrees F then the range was 90 - 32 = 58 degrees F then how many 5 mm intervals call the 5 mm n in the scale the scale would be 58 degrees F/n.
12. Measure the temperature of two unknown samples with your thermometer.
13. Record both temperatures using the scale on the straw.
I don't understand what to do for 12 and 13
Please help also this is the Build Your Own Thermometer project
I hate connections academy
Steve you are an absolute savage.
you don't understand how to take a temperature with a thermometer?
yet both of u are here lol
lol ikr
For step 12 and 13 of the "Build Your Own Thermometer" project, here are the instructions:
12. Measure the temperature of two unknown samples with your thermometer. To do this, place the straw of the thermometer in contact with each of the unknown samples. Wait a few minutes for the liquid inside the straw to rise or fall and stabilize. Once the liquid has settled, note the position of the liquid level on the straw.
13. Record both temperatures using the scale on the straw. Compare the position of the liquid level on the straw with the labeled intervals you created earlier. Locate the nearest labeled interval above or below the liquid level and note down the corresponding temperature. Repeat this process for the second unknown sample. Make sure to record the temperature for each sample accurately.
By following these steps, you can use the scale you created to measure and record the temperatures of the two unknown samples with your homemade thermometer.
