What?

Renaissance Thermometer

- Allows temperature

variations to be measured.

Importance;

Galileo's invention inspired others to experiment

and test new ways to measure temperature.

How it works;

Color representation;

Blue - 60 degrees

Yellow - 65 degrees

Green - 70 degrees

Purple - 75 degrees

Red - 80 degrees

The 'bubbles that raise' and sink

are determined by density.

They sink for the correct temperature;

Say it was 80 degrees the green and purple

would sink, while the yellow and blue float to the top, and the red would sink slightly.
