2 Using a thermometer accurately to collect data Temperature and the weather conditions 1 Use a thermometer to measure and record the temperature for five days.

2 Make sure it is a fair test.

• Take the temperature at the same time every day.

• Take the temperature in the same place every day.

• Use the same thermometer.

Remember If you change any of these, it will not be a fair test. You will not be sure if your observations are reliable.

3 Each time you record the temperature, also observe and record the weather conditions.
