Claim:

The best way to determine the rising and falling of temperature is the use of thermometer . The common answer to each text is the use
of thermometer. No, there are other ways to determine the rise and fall of temperature. There are different variations for determining the rise and
fall of temperature without the use of thermometers. For example, testing the temperature of the pool with the use of your foot or hand and
checking the temperature of a person if he/she has a fever are some of different variations.

Evidence/s:
- If you wanted to cook your turnip greens quicker you would want the water temperature to be higher. But, in an open container,
water boils at 212°F (at sea level), and if you continue to heat the water you will release more molecules as water vapor but the
temperature of the water won't go higher than 212°.

- That’s why water doesn’t always boil at 100° C. At high altitudes the atmospheric pressure is low, so water will boil at a lower
temperature. In the Himalayas, I saw our porters bring the water to the boil, and add spaghetti – but it never fully cooked. We were
about 12,000 feet (3,658 metres) above sea level. At that altitude, the boiling point of water is only 88° C. No matter how long they boiled
the water, it would never get hotter than 88° C, and so the pasta was always a little crunchy. The opposite situation happens inside a
pressure cooker. The pressure is significantly higher than atmospheric pressure, so the water won’t boil until it gets to 120° C.

- In other words, the total process of dissolution-- decomposition into ions plus hydration--absorbs heat. This can easily be demonstrated:
pour some water into a glass and test its temperature with your finger. Add some salt, stir, and test it again. The temperature will have
decreased.

Reason:
The best way of determining the rising and falling of temperature of a solution is the use of a thermometer. Because a thermometer is
the most accurate tool to use for determining the temperature for any solution or things that may need the use of thermometer for checking its
temperature. Even though we may have simpler variations of checking temperatures of things with the use of our hands or feet, it is still inaccurate
since we do not exactly know the exact temperature but we still know if the temperature is rising or falling.
