The one that has to go all the way in

Total immersion thermometer, -20 to +110 degrees C in 1 degree increments. 31cm long, white, with an anti-roll device.

Read this before you mix it with your other thermometers. This is a total immersion instrument: the supplier states it must be completely immersed to read accurately. Our partial-immersion lab thermometers are the opposite - they are calibrated to a 76mm mark on the stem. Put the two side by side in the same beaker and they will disagree, and neither of them is faulty. If your class is comparing results, use one type or the other, not both.

Given that, this is the cheapest thermometer in the range at $6.50 and it reads down to -20, ten degrees lower than the lab pair, which makes it the one for freezing-point work.

On the name. The supplier lists this product as an "Environmentally Friendly Thermometer" but does not say what makes it so. They describe it as pure white and non-toxic, which usually means mercury-free - but they do not print that, and we are not going to claim an environmental credential on their behalf. We have asked. Until they answer, we are listing it under what it demonstrably is: a total immersion thermometer, 31cm, -20 to 110.

FAQs

Because the supplier calls it environmentally friendly and never says what that means. We are not going to repeat an environmental claim we cannot stand behind, so we have named it after what it verifiably is. We have asked the supplier and will update the page when they answer.
The whole thermometer, scale included, has to be under the liquid for the reading to be right. That is awkward in a shallow beaker and it is why this one is not a straight swap for a partial-immersion lab thermometer.
Not in the same experiment. They are calibrated differently, so they will read differently in the same liquid and students will think one is broken. Pick one type per activity.
The supplier says non-toxic and pure white, which points to a spirit fill rather than mercury, but they do not state it outright. We have asked them to confirm. If a mercury-free guarantee is a requirement for your school, buy the UK-made red spirit ones instead, where it is stated.
Freezing point work. It reads to -20, which is ten degrees lower than the other lab thermometers we stock, and at $6.50 it is the cheapest way to get a class set.
