SciShow: The (Arguably) Most Important Instrument in Physics

Teacher or professor: SciShow
Subject: Science
Content of the Lesson: Thermometers might seem like a basic instrument, but science would not be the same without them, and they helped us understand one of the most important ideas in all of science: the conservation of energy.
