Calorimeter, Electric
Use this versatile double-walled calorimeter with or without the electric heating
element. With the heating element students can determine the electrical
equivalent of heat or use the calorimeter without the heating element as a standard
double-walled calorimeter. The spring heating element operates on 0–6 V DC and
approximately 2–3.5 W. The 1.7-cm thick polystyrene lining, plastic insulator ring and
aluminum heat reservoir are designed to control heat loss. Reservoir has 150-mL
capacity and has a built-in thermometer cork. Size: 10.5 cm diameter x 10 cm high.

Investigating Static
Electricity—Super Value
Activity-Stations Kit
Four mini-lab stations are set up around the classroom, each a self-contained activity
focusing on a specific topic.
• Sticky Charges—Students investigate positive and negative electric charges and
observe how like and unlike charges behave.
• The Mysterious Moving Board—Students will be amazed as they discover how an
uncharged insulator can be “mysteriously” attracted by a charged object.
• Ready, Set, Charge!—The interaction of charged pith balls help students distinguish
between charging by conduction and induction.
• Curving Water—As students observe the effect of an electric charge on polar
molecules, they have fun seeing just how far the stream of water will bend.
Kit includes complete instructions with reproducible student handouts and valuable
Teacher Notes.
Super Value Kit is complete for 12 student groups. All materials are reusable!

Calorimeter Resistor
AP4733
Calorimeter Resistor
Used to measure the amount of heat generated by an electrical circuit. Includes
instructions for measuring the heat generated in the circuit and step-by-step
equations for calculating the electrical equivalent of heat (1 cal = 4.186 J). To
perform the experiment, the calorimeter resistor is placed in the aneroid calorimeter
(AP9160) and set up in a circuit. You will also need a 6-volt power supply
or battery, ammeter, voltmeter, connecting wires, thermometer, stopwatch and
balance. Diagram for setup included.
