How does it work?
Each one of the multi-coloured glass baubles is individually weighted, which means that when the ambient temperature changes, and alters the temperature and density of the paraffin inside the thermometer, the baubles rise and sink according to their density. The Galileo Thermometer is accurate between 16 degrees and 34 degrees, with the bottom bauble of the top grouping measuring the current temperature.
The temperature is indicated by a metal disc on the end of each bauble, allowing you to read the temperature. Galileo's Thermometer is based upon Galileo Galileo's discovery of buoyancy and density 400 years ago, so it is a fantastic way to teach science mad kids about new concepts. The principle of buoyancy determines whether or not objects rise or fall in a liquid, which is dependent upon the density of the liquid and the object placed within it. If the mass of the object is greater than the mass of the displaced liquid, the object will sink, and if it is less, the object will rise.
Galileo discovered that as temperatures increase, the density of liquid decreases. This is what allows the baubles to rise within the temperature's cylinder, and, as each bauble is weighted differently, they will either begin to rise or start sinking at a specific temperature. This then allows you to get an accurate temperature reading.
Add a charming and fascinating modern artefact as a display piece to your collection. Recommended for ages: 12+
