MEASURING HEAT
A meter is a measuring device. Just as the speedometer in an automobile tells how fast the car is going, a thermometer records how warm or how cold something is.

A simple room thermometer can tell us how near to this the temperature in a room is. Other kinds of thermometers are also used. One is used to measure the heat of an oven. It shows heat from 100o to 600o. Another may be used on an air-conditioner. The thermometers used to measure body heat record temperatures from 92o to 108o. Other thermometers can be used to show that water freezes at 32o. The thermometer used to tell temperature outdoors often records from far below 0o to about 120o.
