"Ward's Phenomena Lab Activities"

Brass ball mounted on brass rod for thermal expansion experiments.

A useful set for density, specific heat and gravity.

Bimetallic strips attached to wooden handle to study thermal energy.

Metal cylinder set for demonstrating density investigation and specific heat experiments.

Bimetallic strips attached to wood blocks to study thermal energy.

For demonstrating the differential expansion of two metals as shown by the curvature produced when the bar is heated. Each metal band is 200 x 15mm and riveted together.

Demonstrate the Difference Between the Specific Heat of Objects.

This working model thermostat will demonstrate how differential expansion is used to control temperature. A bimetallic strip is used to open or close an electric circuit when temperature changes. The contacts will carry about three amperes. The unit can be operated with a 6 V lantern battery, low voltage power supply, or a blow dryer. Mounted on a metal base; approximately 15 cm high.

Functional glass model of steam turbine.

Gain an understanding of materials science and liquid crustals and how they can be used in a variety of technologies.
