Thermometers have been built which utilise a range of physical effects to measure temperature. Most thermometers are originally calibrated to a constant-volume gas thermometer.^{[citation needed]} Temperature sensors are used in a wide variety of scientific and engineering applications, especially measurement systems. Temperature systems are primarily either electrical or mechanical, occasionally inseparable from the system which they control (as in the case of a mercury thermometer).

It’s kind of cool that we have different kinds of thermometer, appropriate for different kinds of situations. Among the discussion of the whole period THIS is my favorite lesson. I was reall y distracted and I was actually having fun when I reported this lesson!!

It is important to understand the difference between chemical and physical changes. The two types are based on studying chemical reactions and states of matter. We admit that some changes are obvious, but there are some basic ideas you can use. Physical changes are about energy and states of matter. Chemical changes happen on a molecular level.

When you step on a can and crush it, you have forced a physical change. The shape of the object has changed. It wasn’t a change in the state of matter, but something changed. When you melt an ice cube you have also forced a physical change (adding energy). That example caused a change in the state of matter. You can cause physical changes with forces like motion, temperature, and pressure.

Chemical changes happen on a much smaller scale. While some experiments show obvious chemical changes such as a color change, most chemical changes happen between molecules and are unseen. When iron (Fe) rusts you can see it happen over a long period of time. The actual molecules have changed their structure (the iron oxidized). Melting a sugar cube is a physical change because the substance is still sugar. Burning a sugar cube is a chemical change. The energy of the fire has broken down the chemical bonds.

Some changes are extremely small. Chemical changes can happen over a series of steps, and the result might have the same number of atoms but have a different structure. The sugars glucose, galactose, and fructose all have six carbon atoms, twelve hydrogen atoms, and six oxygen atoms. Even though they are made of the same atoms, they have very different shapes and are called structural isomers. They each have different chemical reactions because of their molecular structure.

Some of these are definitions all about the subject Chemistry but to top it all off I’d just like to point out that without CHEMISTRY our life wouldn’t be this convenient.

Chemistry has now been a part of our lives. Without it, I couldn’t think of a better alternative of what life could be.

On the first month of school we were already obliged to make a blog concerning CHEMISTRY, above are my favorite lessons in Chemistry that’s why I also want you to enjoy it.
