If you wanted to compare temperature data, would you use your fingers or a thermometer? Why?

• A thermometer, because Meteorologists and other Scientists often need to share their work. This means they have to be able to compare data, so they need to use the same tools. Meteorologists use thermometers to measure temperature.

• Fingers, because everyone may describe the temperature differently and that is better for comparing.
