A clear and easy to follow textbook including material on forces, machines, motion, properties of matter, electronics and energy, problem-solving investigations and practice in experimental design.
Whenever you need to know the temperature of something, use a thermometer. Readers are introduced to the Celsius and Fahrenheit scales and a variety of thermometer types, including digital thermometers, spring thermometers, and maximum-minimum thermometers. Safety tips, labeled photographs, and an experiment in which readers use thermometers to study how temperatures vary throughout the day are included.
Introduces the function, parts, and uses of thermometers. Provides instructions for two activities that demonstrate how a thermometer works.
Thermometers are so important in our daily lives. We consult them to know how to dress before going outside. We check our temperature when we think were sick. We even use thermometers when were cooking and baking in the kitchen. Thermometers are everywhere, but theyre also important tools of science. In this engaging volume, with the aid of appealing photographs and an instructive activity, readers will learn how scientists of all ages use thermometers and how they can, too.
Volume 2 of the Handbook of Temperature Measurement, prepared by the CSIRO National Measurement Laboratory, Australia, discusses the operation, calibration and usage of resistance and liquid-in-glass thermometers. Both standard-platinum-resistance thermometers and industrial-resistance thermometers are examined, and details on a variety of resistance-measuring techniques are given. Also included is a final version of the official text of the International Temperature Scale 1990 (ITS-90). The authors of this volume are John J. Connolly and E. Corina Horrigan.
The discipline of instrumentation has grown appreciably in recent years because of advances in sensor technology and in the interconnectivity of sensors, computers and control systems. This 4e of the Instrumentation Reference Book embraces the equipment and systems used to detect, track and store data related to physical, chemical, electrical, thermal and mechanical properties of materials, systems and operations. While traditionally a key area within mechanical and industrial engineering, understanding this greater and more complex use of sensing and monitoring controls and systems is essential for a wide variety of engineering areas--from manufacturing to chemical processing to aerospace o...
When we're checking thermometers to see what the temperature is outside, inside, or our own body temperature, we rarely think about what makes the thermometer function. This amazing, reliable invention is attributed to Galileo. Readers will learn about the first mercury thermometers and how they work and they'll review the digital models they may be more familiar with today. Many important science concepts are presented along with beneficial photographs and images to support reading comprehension.

Understand a vital new bioanalytical technique with this comprehensive introduction to measuring temperature on the cellular scale Most organisms have highly controlled body temperatures, fluctuations in which are therefore sensitive indicators of changes in body function. In recent years, the development of fluorescent molecular thermometers and related intracellular temperature probes has enabled researchers to track these fluctuations at the cellular rather than the organismic level, opening up a whole new field of study in cell and molecular biology. Intracellular Thermometry with Fluorescent Molecular Thermometers provides bioanalytical researchers with an introduction to these technolo...
