Today, my eight-year-old microwaved our thermometer to see if the temperature would change. FML

I'd say it's a good scientific curiosity your child has.

Solid evidence that OP's child will become one, too! At least, I think so...

I guess you could be glad that he/she is taking an interest in science

There's curious and then there's stupid. Eight years old is plenty old enough to understand microwave safety.

The kid is 8. I've seen adults make mistakes with putting stuff in the microwave that shouldn't be. And how would the kid know what would happen? There's no way for them to have prior experience of what would happen. If they did, they wouldn't have done it.

Exactly. If no one ever told them, then how were they supposed to know? Also, kids tend to be really curious about the world around them (ex. taking things apart to see how they work or what they're made of).

When I was five I got the bright idea to do that so it would look like I had a fever and then I wouldn't have to go to school. (Those of you that are old enough to remember Andy, the Domino's mascot of the mid 90s, that's definitely where I got the bright idea from.) At least his was curiosity.
