How do thermometers work?

• When the thermometer becomes warmer, the molecules that make the red liquid get bigger and bigger.

• When the thermometer becomes warmer, the molecules the make the red liquid start multiplying so that there is more and more as it becomes hotter.

• When a thermometer becomes warmer, the molecules that make the red liquid begin moving faster, become less dense, and the red liquid expands up the tube.
