Thermometer Science Game
Enjoy games that kids can play at home with a thermometer science game, one of the fun science games and discovery kids games.
Heat is connected with warmth like the sun, summer months or a hot shower.
Temperatures rise when it gets hot. This experiment lets you watch a thermometer's numbers rise - inside your house!
Need: one thermometer, glass jar and lid, a clean scouring pad (steel wool), small bowl and vinegar
Take the thermometer and place it inside the jar. Put the lid back on the jar.
After 5 minutes, look at the temperature. Remember it or write it down.
Remove the thermometer from the jar and sit it aside.
Get your bowl and place the scouring pad in it. Pour the vinegar over the pad until it is completely wet.
Parents can do this for younger children.
After 60 seconds, remove the pad from the bowl, squeezing out the vinegar over the bowl.
Place the steel wool pad around the bottom of the thermometer then put them back into the jar and secure the lid.
Wait 5 minutes then look at the temperature. The temperature should rise!
How many degrees did it rise?
Remove them from the jar. Remove the scouring pad from the thermometer. What happens to the temperature?
Place the thermometer back into the jar and close the lid? What happens now? Did the temperature rise, fall or stay the same?
Teachers can use this in the classroom, too.
