WATER, ALCOHOL, ETHER Wrap the bulbs of three identical thermometers with small pieces of cotton -- one saturated with water, one with alcohol, and one with ether. Fan the thermometer bulbs rapidly with a sheet of cardboard. Observe the temperature changes. Your writer is not a scientist or a medical professional. However, it appears to me that ether is not a substance that should be used in an experiment at school. The fumes can be quite sickening, and it may be likely to burst into flames. Ask your brilliant teacher. As usual, I am correct. The encyclopedia tells us that ether is "a volatile, highly flammable liquid, C4H100, derived from the distillation of ethyl alcohol with sulfuric acid, and widely used in industry and as an anesthetic." People with high fevers are sometimes given alcohol rubdowns to lower their temperatures. Sometimes they are wrapped in sheets and laid on a bed of ice cubes. Wouldn't that be fun!
