What is it made of and how big is it?
It is made of crystal glass and measures 16 cm by 10 cm. The liquid inside is described as non-toxic and non-hazardous.
How does a Galileo thermometer work?
The liquid becomes more or less dense as the temperature changes, and each ball floats or sinks at a particular point. The floating balls show you the current temperature.

Cracking piece for the mantle. does its job well and is a brilliant conversation starter. feels a bit lightweight, but no biggie.
Emma Clarke –
I’m pleased with this buy – got it for my brother who loves all things science. The way the colours change is lovely. Bit pricier than some other gifts but worth it for the uniqueness.
Dave Wilson –
The teardrop shape is really striking. I’ve a few of these Galileos around, each one different, but this might be my favourite. Would have loved a matching stand though.
Margaret Hollis –
my grandson Oliver (he’s 8) spotted this on the windowsill and wouldn’t leave it alone. He’s been checking the little bubbles every morning to see which one has sunk, and now he’s telling the whole family what the temperature is. Chuffed to bits, and so am I, it looks lovely too.

Spot on. Sits nicely in the lounge and the coloured bulbs rise and fall as the room warms and cools.
