B. An Instrument used for measuring temperature is known as a thermometer.

There are various types of thermometer, but the most common are the mercury and alcohol thermometer
Use the notes 1,2 and 3 to help you describe the the construction of a mercury or alcohol-in-glass thermometer in three sentences

Uniform Bore tube Alcohol/Mercury

Bulb

Uniform Bore tube Alcohol/Mercury

Bulb

1. Laboratory thermometer/consist of/sealed glass tube with/bulb/at the one end 2. Tube/has/small uniform bore/and/air/removed/it 3. Bulb/contain/mercury or alcohol/which can pass along/tube

Now descibe the operation of the thermometer using the words given in brackets to start each sentence

(X+1)

(X+1)

4. Thermometer increases/mercury or alcohol/expands (As)

5. Liquid expands/travels along tube (As)

4. Tube pass a uniform bore/distances measured along the tube/ proportional to changes in temperature (Since) 5. Side of the tube is marked with a scale/temperature can/read/ directly from the position of the mercury of alcohol (Since) 6. Liquid expands a curtain amount for a unit rise in temperature/ liquid/travel/further along a small bore tube for a given rise in temperature (Since)

If the tube has small bore, the length of the temperature scale will be greater than if the tube has large bore. We can therefore say that for a given range of temperature Small bore-long thermometer Large bore-short thermometer We can also say: The smaller the bore, the longer the thermometer The larger the bore, the shorter the thermometer

C. Use these notes to help you makes statements like those in B. For example: Metal block/Heated/high temperature/large expansion When a metal block is heated, the higher the temperature the larger the expansion 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Metal/compressed /large force/great compression Metal/heated/high temperature/ductile material Two magnets/brought together/near poles/great force Force/applied to a wire/large force/ great extension Current/passed through a wire/high current/great heating effect Gas/compressed/high pressure/small volume Thermometer/heated/high temperature/long column of mercury Stell/made/high carbon content/hard stell

Exercise 1 Use these notes to make statements of general fact about

matter. For example: Molecule/group/atom Molecule is a groups of atom 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Matter/exists/three states All matter/can/divide/compounds/mixtures/elements All matter/made up of/Atom/molecules Atoms/consist of/nucleus/one or more electrons Electrons/revolve around/nucleus/atom Nucleus/consist of/neutrons/proton Protons/have/ positive charge Neutron/not/have/electrical charge Atomic weight/of element/equal to/number of protons/plus/number of neutron/in/nucleus/of/atom/of/element 10.Radiation/emitted/certain/heavy/element/consist of three types/ray

Exercise 2 Make sentences from the notes in the same way as in this
example Steel bar/cooled/contract If steel bar is cooled it will contract 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Block of ice/heated/above 0/melt Oxygen/cooled/to -182.97/liquefy Tensile force/applied metal wire/length increase Rectangular metal block/heated/volume/increase North pole/magnet/brought near/south pole/another magnet/poles/attract/each other 6. South pole/magnet/brought near/south pole/poles/repel/each other 7. End of/chopper bar/heated/heat/travel/along/bar 8. Electric current/passed/along/conductor/conductor/become/hot
