1. What is the purpose of a lab thermometer (hint: lab thermometer looks just like a thermometer used at home to measure your temperature.)?

2. Using a test tube, a long plastic tube (looks like a very long clear plastic straw), test tube stopper with a hole in it, and colored water, how could you build a working thermometer?

3. How does a thermometer work in relation to changes in volume and density of matter?
