The whole idea, one bite at a time
Veda Bites are swipeable micro-lessons — each one teaches exactly one idea. Here's a taste from this kit; the app has the full deck.
Write the prediction down
Before you touch anything.
A prediction on paper cannot be quietly adjusted to match what you saw.
Two hands disagree
The result.
The right hand finds B cool while the left finds the same water warm.
Clinical thermometer
What it is for.
It measures body temperature, and the ones you meet today show it in digits.
Heat sensors
What is inside.
Digital ones run on batteries and work the temperature out with heat sensors.
Degree Celsius
The scale.
They generally work in the Celsius scale, whose unit is written °C.

1
Touch Is Not a Thermometer
Two hands in the same bowl of water can disagree about it. That is enough to show that touch will not settle how hot something is, and to explain why a number and an instrument are needed instead.
- Experience tells us that some bodies are hotter than others.
- On a summer day, tap water can feel warmer than what a matka or a refrigerator holds.
- Our sense of touch cannot be trusted every time to settle hot from cold.

The Clinical Thermometer
A digital instrument built for one narrow band of temperatures, with rules for using it and one number, 37.0 degrees Celsius, that is less fixed than almost everybody assumes.
- A clinical thermometer measures our body temperature, and shows it digitally.
- Digital clinical thermometers run on batteries and use heat sensors.
- They read a temperature when placed in contact with a person’s body.

Three Scales, and How to Write Them
The same hotness can be reported as 37.0, as 98.6, or as 310.15, depending on the scale. Three scales, three units, and a short set of rules about capital letters that trips almost everybody.
- The Celsius scale uses the degree Celsius, whose symbol is °C.
- The Fahrenheit scale uses the degree Fahrenheit, whose symbol is °F.
- What comes out as 37.0 °C in Celsius comes out as 98.6 °F in Fahrenheit.

The Laboratory Thermometer
A glass tube with a bulb of liquid, a range printed along it, and a smallest division you have to work out yourself. Almost every wrong reading comes from one of four avoidable habits.
- A laboratory thermometer is a glass tube, long and narrow and of even width, closed at the top.
- The bulb holds a liquid, generally alcohol coloured red, or mercury.
- A Celsius scale runs up the side, and the liquid column rises or falls with the temperature.
