	Howstuffworks "How does a Galileo thermometer work?"
		Based on a thermoscope invented by Galileo Galilei in the early 1600s, the thermometer on your co-worker's desk is called a Galileo thermometer.
		The Galileo thermometer consists of a sealed glass tube that is filled with water and several floating bubbles.
		The basic idea is that as the temperature of the air outside the thermometer changes, so does the temperature of the water surrounding the bubbles.

	Galileo's Observations & Inventions
		Galileo seems, at an early period of his life, to have adopted the Copernican theory of the solar system, and was deterred from avowing his opinions - as is proved by his letter to Kepler of August 4, 1597, by the fear of ridicule rather than of persecution.
		Galileo was not the original inventor of the telescope.
		Before the close of 1610 the memorable cycle of discoveries begun in the previous year was completed by the observation, as it appeared to Galileo, of the triple form of Saturn (the ring-formation was first recognized by Christiaan Huygens in 1655), of the phases of Venus, and of the spots upon the sun.

	Galileo thermometer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A Galileo thermometer, Galilean thermometer or thermoscope is a thermometer made of a sealed glass cylinder containing a clear liquid.
		In the Galileo thermometer, the small glass bulbs are partly filled with a different (coloured) liquid.
		Figure 4 shows a schematic representation of a Galileo thermometer at two different temperatures (the temperature markings on this example are in Fahrenheit).

	How Does the Thermometer Work?
		One of the earliest inventors of a thermometer was probably Galileo.
		The thermometers we use today are different than the ones Galileo may have used.
		Early thermometers used water, but because water freezes there was no way to measure temperatures less than the freezing point of water.

	BBC - Gloucestershire Weather - G is for Galileo
		Galileo is said to have built the first thermometer about 400 years ago.
		That's why, in the thermometer named after him, as the temperature rises and the density of the liquid in this tube decreases, differently weighted glass globes sink to the bottom of the tube.
		We may use hi-tec remote sensors for measuring temperatures these days and the Galileo thermometer is now nothing but an attractive curiosity but there is a quite a history behind the development of temperature and temperature measurement - and it all began with Fahrenheit, Celsius and Galileo.

	Galileo Thermometer, 12in, 5 spheres
		WHat Galileo discovered is that spheres of different weights would rise or fall according to the temperature.
		Because the liquids in the cylinder contract slightly at lower temperatures and expand slightly at higher temperatures, the spheres rise and fall accordingly.
		In a Galileo thermometer, the lowest floating sphere in the upper part of the cylinder tells the correct temperature.

	Galileo Thermometer
		Galileo was one of the most renown Renaissance scientists.
		One of Galileo's discoveries was that as the temperature of a liquid increases, its buoyancy decreases.
		Galileo's findings were translated by instruments showing room temperature from 16-25 deg.C and 60-78 deg.F. Sealed glass spheres with finely calibrated counterweights float in a non-toxic liquid sensitive to temperature.

	Galileo's Thermometer
		He built a thermometer comprised of a number of small glass spheres with small tags on the bottom and placed in a tall cylindrical container filled with water.
