Apologia Chemistry: Module 2: Calibrate a Thermometer

Module 2 is about Heat, Temperature, and Energy.  The first lab, Experiment 2.1 is How to calibrate a thermometer.  I read the experiment and consulted the GLOBE instructions.  I calibrated a digital thermometer, a metal backed thermometer, and two different glass thermometers.  Anything worth doing is worth overdoing.  Use a large container, such as my giant yogurt cup, with more ice than water.  Let the thermometer sit at least ten minutes.  Here is a video.  Normally I wouldn’t do a video on a simple lab.  But, based on the number of emails and extra video chats, I should video everything.  Every. Single. Thing.
