Why we love it:
  • These are top quality blown glass thermometers that will amaze and educate your friends and family alike
  • Back in the 17th Centery Galileo, the famous Italian astronomer, discovered that the density of water changes according to temperature.
  • This thermometer indicates the current temperature by the movement of the glass spheres rising and falling in the column.
  • As the temperature rises, spheres descend one by one and those above ambient temperature are left floating at the top of the fluid.The temperature is indicated by a number hanging from the bottom of each sphere and the lowest sphere still floating shows the actual room temperature.
