1. Thermometer
Thermometers are perhaps the most straightforward and widely used instruments for measuring temperature.Traditional thermometers are either mercury-filled or alcohol-filled thermometers. However, in modern student labs, digital thermometers are more commonly used for their convenience and ease of reading. Digital thermometers typically have a digital display that shows the temperature reading directly, making them simple and precise tools for temperature measurement.
Celsius and Fahrenheit Thermometer
These thermometers are similar to regular thermometers but have both Celsius and Fahrenheit scales printed on them. They are useful for helping students understand and convert between these two temperature scales.
2. Infrared Thermometer (IR Thermometer)
An infrared thermometer, also known as a non-contact thermometer, measures temperature by detecting the infrared energy emitted by an object. It is useful for measuring the surface temperature of objects without direct contact. IR thermometers are often used in scenarios where direct contact with the object may not be practical or safe.
