Product Details

Students will eagerly “take the heat” as they discover for themselves the basic principles of heat transfer with this series of four hands-on experiments.
• Conduction—Test the thermal conductivity of different materials, and compare their results with known quantities.
• Convection of a Liquid—Investigate how temperature affects the density of a liquid, and watch as convection currents are created when the hot and cold liquids rise and sink, respectively.
• Convection of a Gas—Observe the dramatic effects of convection currents in air on a lighted candle that will really make students use their “thinking caps.”
• Radiation—Explore heat transfer through radiation by measuring the temperature increases for two types of sand exposed to a heat source.

This activity-stations lab kit is an excellent introduction to all three types of heat transfer and is a great value! Standard laboratory equipment and a light source are required, but not included. Includes comprehensive background information, Teacher Notes and student worksheets.

Complete for 12 student groups.
