Did you know that Galileo Galilei, a professor at the University of Padua and one of the most famous scientists in Italy, invented the first thermometer? It contained air sealed in a tube by water. The air expanded when it got warm, moving the water level up.

Today at school I did this neat experiment with a piece of paper, 6 inches of tape, a ruler, and a pair of scissors. With those materials I was able to make four pillars and tightly made the pillars so thick that I could hold up 23 text books in class. And at home I tried it again and was able to support about  150 pounds with a piece of paper with just those 4 simple materials. If you want you could try it for yourself and make it the best you could.
