A bimetallic strip can be used as a thermometer or thermostat. The two metals expand at different rates which will make it bend. You can use this to find the temperature of an oven.

When the oven cools the bimetallic strip will become straight again and the electrical contact will be remade and the oven will begin to reheat again.
