"orange de méthyle"

Bimetallic strips attached to wooden handle to study thermal energy.

This is a classic example of thermodynamics in action.

Close-Up Cross Section.

A useful set for density, specific heat and gravity.

Bimetallic strips attached to wood blocks to study thermal energy.

Simple tool to explore the thermal properties of matter.

Simple Calorimeter to Measure Heat in Many Applications

The movement of liquid currents due to differences in temperature is demonstrated by introducing dye into the water in the tube. One corner of the tube is heated and the movement of the dye clearly establishes the currents. The rectangular shaped tube measures 15×21 cm and has an opening at the top.

This apparatus is useful for studying forces during thermal contraction and expansion.

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

The liquid convection apparatus is designed to show the convection of heat in a liquid.

Set of discs to study radiant heat absorption based on surface properties.

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.

Laminated for long use.

Bring Some Heat Into the Classroom

A set to demonstrate the rise in temperature when a fixed mass of gas is compressed.
