I appreciate the IR thermometer recommendation, and advice to calibrate with an ice bath.

1.  Calibrate (ice bath).<br />2.  Check the specs of the instruments.  That&#39;s only +/- ~1/2 degree.<br />3.  Use it as a lesson for the students:  instruments aren&#39;t perfect.  Even when they give you a digital readout to the nearest 10th.

Hello! Has anyone had an issue with classroom thermometers giving different readings? How would you deal with it (especially to get temperature during eclipse)?
