Creating a scale on your thermometer

Now that you have identified the boiling and freezing point, how could you mark the other points between these two known points?

The Celsius scale is set to 100 equal divisions (degrees) between the freezing and boiling points. Does your thermometer present any difficulties in making accurate markings?

How many divisions could you make, and still be sure that they are accurate? Discuss these questions with your group and present your ideas to the class.

After you have discussed and agreed on a plan for marking the thermometer with your class, mark the thermometer.
