    Water temperature experiments show that careful measurement is needed to determine the truth. Different thermometers may display varying readings, and human interference like touching or breathing on the bulb can cause inaccurate readings. Proper technique such as allowing 3 minutes or more before reading is important to get an accurate temperature measurement.

    2) If you want the truth, youve got to MEASURE carefully. Thermometers: 1) Not all thermometers will read the same! 2) Humans can cause the reading to be wrong* *(touching the bulb, breathing on it, not giving it 3 minutes or more, etc.)
