Which will have a higher temperature reading—a thermometer inside a mitten laying on a table or a thermometer laying on the same table in the same room conditions? Explain your answer. (In kid words)

Answer 1

The thermometer inside the mitten will have a higher temperature reading. This is because the mitten keeps the thermometer warm by trapping the heat from our hands. When we wear a mitten, it acts like a cozy blanket around the thermometer and keeps it warm. On the other hand, the thermometer that is just laying on the table does not have any extra warmth, so its temperature reading will be lower.

Answer 2

Can you make that shorter

Answer 3

Sure! The thermometer inside the mitten will have a higher temperature reading because the mitten keeps it warm like a cozy blanket. The thermometer on the table doesn't have any extra warmth, so its reading will be lower.
