52、s scale water freezes at 0 degrees and boils at 100degrees.D. The water will rise in the straw. As the temperature of the air goes up, the water will expand and rise even higher.E. Now that you know this rule you can make a thermometer of your own that will work.F. Thermometers measure temperature,
