Mercury free.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe point of a wall thermometer in a classroom is that nobody has to go and get it. It sits on the wall or the window and the temperature is simply there, every day, all year - which is what turns \"measure the temperature\" from an activity into a habit. A class that reads the same thermometer every morning for a term ends up with a data set worth graphing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe -45 to +50 range is a weather range rather than a laboratory one. It is not for heating experiments; it is for the room, the verandah, the shade house and the window.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is inside it:\u003c\/strong\u003e the supplier states that it \"contains a petro-chemical solution that primarily consists of Kerosene\", that it \"is safe for use in school environments\" and that it is mercury-free. We are quoting them rather than paraphrasing, because a fill fluid is the kind of thing a science coordinator will want in the supplier's own words.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOne number we do not believe.\u003c\/strong\u003e The supplier lists the dimensions as 380cm x 6.5cm, which would make it a 3.8 metre thermometer. We read that as 380mm - a 38cm scale, which matches the photograph and the description \"large\". We have asked them to confirm, and we would rather flag it than quietly print either figure as fact.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MTA Essentials","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53792749158763,"sku":"EVSER1028013","price":8.2,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0963\/2795\/8891\/files\/ser1028013_large-wall-thermometer-45-to-50-c.webp?v=1788352637","url":"https:\/\/megaofficesupplies.com.au\/products\/large-wall-thermometer-45-to-50c","provider":"Mega Office Supplies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
