What happens here

Once calibrated, your homemade liquid thermometer can be used to observe temperature changes. The presenter explains the science behind the thermometer, focusing on how the liquid inside the bottle expands and contracts with changes in temperature. This creates a visible change in the liquid level within the straw, which can be interpreted using the marked scale. The thermometer serves as a basic science experiment to understand thermal properties of liquids and gases.

Goal: Understand the scientific principles governing the thermometer's operation and its potential applications.
