Heat/Thermodynamics Learning Activities

Bring the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics to life.

Organize the study the disorder.

Vividly illustrate the transformation of energy.

Demonstrate how the frictional force on an object depends on the surface, not mass.

A dramatic visualization of air pressure. This 1000 ml bottle has a balloon attached to its neck and an additional hole in its base fitted with a rubber stopper. You cannot inflate the balloon with the stopper in place, but remove the stopper and the balloon easily inflates. Replace the stopper, fill the bottle with water, remove stopper and Whoosh! – a geyser erupts!

Demonstrate the force of air pressure without a vacuum pump. The edges of the two 8.5 cm rubber cups are placed together and pressed to expel the air between them. Students discover the difficulty of separating the cups by pulling and tugging on the handles - providing an effective, 'hands-on' demonstration of air pressure.

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.

This nickel coated plate uses a rubber pad to achieve air tight contact with a bell jar. It features a stopcock and center hole with safety screw plug and a rubber gasket.
