Measuring+Time+&+Temperature

= __**Measuring Time & Temperature**__ =

Objects used to measure time:

** -Stopwatches ** - Located in the back of the classroom on the desk under the older television and next to the thermometers.
**-Clock** - Located in the back of the classroom on the wall that you enter through, and by the back door.

__How to use a stopwatch:__ - Press the "on" button to turn it on. - Press the "start" button to start the timer. - If only one time is needed, press the "stop" button and read the time. - If you need to stop the time, but have to start it up again, press "start" again to continue the time. - If multiple times need to be recorded, but you can't stop the clock, then press the "lap" button. The time will continue, but there will be only one time being read. To resume, hit the "lap" button again and it will go to the current time being recorded. - When you are done, press the "reset" button to return it back to zero. To turn it off, leave it alone.

__How to read a stopwatch:__ - The number shown before the colon is the hour. - The two numbers shown after the colon, but before the appostraphy are the minutes. - The two numbers after the apostrophe and before the quotes are the seconds. - And, the two little numbers after the quotes are the milliseconds. __How to use and read a clock:__ Pretty self explanatory. media type="file" key="Using a Stopwatch.mov" width="300" height="300"

Objects used to measure temperature: **-Thermometer** - Located in the back of the classroom under the older television and next to the stopwatches.

__How to use a thermometer:__ - Put the end of the thermometer with the red liquid into what you are trying to take the temperature of. - Wait about a minute for an accurate measurement or until the red liquid stops raising. - Read and record the temperature written on the thermometer where the red liquid stops rising. (Temperature is written in Celsius) - Formula to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit: (9/5)C + 32
