Thermometer Calibration:
On February 17, 2002, at 8:15 pm, thermometers were calibrated by placing a mixture of crushed ice and water in a beaker. The thermometers were placed in the beaker and swirled around until a constant temperature was reached. The temperature reading was recorded in a data table to determine the accuracy of the thermometers.
