Heat/Thermodynamics Learning Activities

Employs Guericke’s Method for Demonstrating the Force of Atmospheric Pressure.

The Student Coin and Feather Tube shows the two items in a vacuum, falling at the same rate.

This vacuum plate and pad are the perfect tools for vacuum experiments.

Ideal for demonstrating that vapor pressure increases when temperature increases.

Effective Method of Showing Normally Invisible Currents

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.

High quality linear expansion apparatus to study thermal expansion.

This is a classic example of thermodynamics in action.

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.

This apparatus is used to Verifying the Boyle’s law when air is decompressed and compressed. A horizontally mounted acrylic tube having a graduated scale (0- 300cm3) along one side. A gas tap closes the tube. Pressure gauge is present next to gas tap. By changing the position of rubber stopper, the effective length of the tube can be selected. The scale measures volume and pressure by means of pressure gauze. Boyle’s law is investigated by changing position of the stopper.

Observe the phase transition at the critical point.

Measure the radiant Intensity of a "black body".

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