Hello Pinholers
As you may know this Saturday's workshop is on high temperatures.
Do you have any questions on what is temperature?
What does a thermometer measure anyway?
Or what is entropy?
Help us get ready for Saturday by sending us your questions now.
Interesting notes:
The SI unit for temperature is the kelvin, K, it is no longer used with the
degree symbol. So it is correct to say 3 kelvins not 3 degrees kelvin.
It is correct to say degrees Celcius, °C, (the degree symbol in front of
the C may not print on your e-mail.)
Centigrade is no longer used.
