The Tools Used to Measure Density
Scale. Mass is one of the most easily obtained measurements. ...
Graduated Cylinder. The most accurate way to determine an object's volume, especially in the case of an irregularly shaped object, is to immerse it in water and measure the amount of water it displaces. ...
Calculating Density. ...

The Value of Density.
Water displacement. You fill a graduated cylinder with an amount of water, place the object inside the graduated cylinder, and then measure the new water level. The change in volume of the water is the volume of the object, assuming the object was completely submerged.
Normally, when something gets colder, its electrical resistance gets smaller. This is true of component-A in the drawing ... a simple resistor.
The component labeled 'B' has a strange and unusual symbol, and it's not a simple resistor. It's a "thermistor". The word "thermal" always has something to do with heat, and "thermistor" comes from "thermal resistor. These things can be manufactured either way ... using different materials, a thermistor can be manufactured so that its resistance goes UP, or goes DOWN, or doesn'tchange when it gets colder. I'm pretty sure that's what's going on here.
When this circuit gets colder, resistance-A gets smaller, but resistance-B either gets bigger OR doesn't change. Either way, the voltage across B increases. Since the LED is connected directly across B, the current through it depends on that voltage, so the LED gets more current, and becomes brighter, when A and B both get colder.
This circuit could actually be a very useful device. If you took out the LED and put a voltmeter in its place, then the reading on the voltmeter would tell you the temperature of wherever you put the two components A and B.
