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. PLEASE HELPPPP IM super behind and school is almost over someone please be nice enough to help me :)
just follow the directions.
I need help tho @bobpursley
To create a scale for your model thermometer, you will need a ruler, a straw, and a marker or pen. Here are the steps to create and label the scale:
1. Take the straw and place it horizontally on a flat surface.
2. Using a ruler, measure the distance between the two marks or endpoints on the straw. Let's say it measures 50 mm.
3. Divide this distance into equal 5-mm intervals. Since the distance is 50 mm, you will have 10 intervals (50 mm / 5 mm = 10 intervals).
4. Starting from the lowest point, which corresponds to 0 on the thermometer, label each interval on the straw. Each interval represents a 5-mm increment.
- The first interval represents 0 to 5 mm, so you can label it as 0.
- The second interval represents 5 mm to 10 mm, so you can label it as 1.
- The third interval represents 10 mm to 15 mm, so you can label it as 2.
- Continue this pattern until you reach the final interval, which represents 45 mm to 50 mm, labeled as 9.
Your scale will now have intervals labeled from 0 to 9, representing 5-mm increments on the thermometer.
