Temperature and its
Measurement
Scientists and doctors use thermometers to measure how hot or
cold things are! In this chapter, we will learn all about
temperature, thermometers, and how they work!
Have you ever touched an ice cube and felt the chill, or placed
your hands near a flame and sensed the heat? 
Why do some things feel cold while others feel hot?

Can We Trust Our Touch?
A metal spoon might feel
colder than a wooden one,
even if they are the same
temperature.
After being outside in the
sun, normal water can feel
super cold.
