These Galileo solid glass thermometers contain hand-blown multi-colored glass spheres featuring GOLD PLATED MEDALLIONS. This functional and attractive desk accessory is based on the physicist Galileo Galilei’s (1564-1642) discovery that the density of fluid expands and contracts depending on temperature. The lowest floating sphere in the upper group indicates the current temperature. As the temperature decreases, spheres will rise and as the temperature increases, spheres will fall. Please note that the Galileo thermometer is a scientific instrument and not a toy.

A Galileo liquid thermometer gives an accurate reading of relative temperature. It is fun to watch science in action and to realize that this device was created based on the theories developed hundreds of years ago.

In addition, Galileo’s thermometer is simply a lovely accessory. It makes a unique gift for anyone; it’s a great object to display on a mantel piece or on a desktop. You can find Galileo liquid thermometers in a variety of sizes, making them ideal for any décor. They are also great conversation pieces. Few people will understand the science behind Galileo’s thermometer, at least at first glance. It can be a useful tool to show to children and adults alike – it’s certain to start some lively discussions.
