Overview
Students should be able to: Construct a device for measuring the temperature of a body. Use the variation of: (a) pressure of a gas with temperature; (b) the expansion of solid, liquid or gas with temperature; (c) electrical resistance of a material to measure the temperature of a body Distinguish between heat and temperature and between temperature point and temperature intervals. Select those liquids which are suitable for use in liquid-in-glass thermometers from a glass from a given list of liquids and their properties. State the instrument used for measuring temperature explain the device For measuring the temperature of an environment Describe the absolute scale of temperature and explain the. Meaning of the absolute zero of temperature. Convert a given temperature on the Celsius scale to a temperature on the Kelvin scale. Describe the kinetic molecular model of temperature.
