no, you just change the markings on the side. Amazingly you can buy thermometers with both. And its slightly different but just as easy for a digital or mechanical thermometer.

0 Celsius are about -273 Kelvin, but the increase of one Kelvin and one Celsius are the same.
So the scale of the Kelvin and the Celsius scale of a thermomenter are the same, only that the Kelvin starts under the Celsius scale.
But forget about using the one for the other. A Celsius thermometer is not suted for sutch low temperature like around zero Kelvin, and would not work.

You just subtract 273 from your Celsius temperature to get your Kelvin temperature.

Nope, you ADD 273 to Celsius to get Kelvin. Zero degees C is an ice cube, Zero degrees K is absolute zero, the cessation of all motion. The bottom. So, your ice cube is a toasty 273 deg K.
