Chapter 4: Temperature describes how hot or cold an object is.
2
How does temperature affect your daily life? Why do you feel warm playing outside on a cold winter’s day?
3
A description of how hot or cold something is.
4
4-1A Boiling Hot, Freezing Cold p. 111
5
Room Temperature – 22 o C Body Temperature - 37 o C Boiling Point of Water - 100 o C Freezing Point of Water - 0 o C
6
Read p. 115 – 116 Reading Check p. 116 #1-3

Early Thermometers Galileo's Air Thermometer ▪ As the air heats, the liquids drops and rises when air is cooled.
10
Early Liquid Thermometer: Liquid rising up the tube shows the temperature is rising.
11
Scales are necessary for temperatures to be accurate and comparable. 3 commonly used scales are: 1.Fahrenheit 2.Celsius 3.Kelvin
12
Developed by Daniel Fahrenheit The first to be widely used Freezing of water occurs at 32 o F Boiling of water occurs at 212 o F
13
Developed by William Thomson (Lord Kelvin) Scale states that the coldest temperature possible –absolute zero (-273 ˚C)
14
Developed by Anders Celsius Most commonly used temperature scale Based on water freezing at 0 o C and boiling at 100 o C.
16
To calibrate means to accurately assign a scale. Steps to calibrating a Thermometer 1. Place the bulb in a mixture of water and ice. 2. Mark the point at the top of the liquid as 0 o C. 3. Remove the bulb from the ice water and place in boiling water. 4. Mark the point at the top of the liquid as 100 o C 5. Divide the space between 0 and 100 into 100 even spaces. Each space will represent 1 o C.
17
Liquid in Glass Thermometer The lab thermometer contains colored alcohol rather than mercury for safety.
18
The Thermocouple Made of two wires of different metals. A temperature difference causes a current to flow through the wires. This current is measured by a meter. Can measure higher temperatures than typical thermometers.
21
Made of two different metals fused together. These metals expand and contract at different rates causing the strip to bend when heated.
23
Converts infrared radiation into colors that can interpret a temperature difference.
