Objective 2:
1. Thermometers measure temperature by telling how fast the particles inside of the object are moving. Thermometers use mercury, which expands when it gets hot and gets smaller when it cools down.
2. Kelvin and Celsius scales are the same because, although they have different zero points, they still have the same intervals, or degrees. They are different because they are on different scales (288 degrees Kelvin = 15 degrees Celsius = 59 degrees Fahrenheit.) Also, Kelvin isn't really a "degree" of temperature, like Fahrenheit and Celsius.
3. 5 degrees Celsius = 41 degrees Fahrenheit
4. 860 degrees Fahrenheit = 460 degrees Celsius
5. The temperature needs to be raised by 209,000 K.
